I don't mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn't bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.

I tried the books because I liked the concept. I tried 3 times to read the books. Couldn't get into it. Then I heard they got a show and I tried again, hoping I could get into it for the show. Again, I couldn't. And so I watched the show, hoping that would get me into it enough to finish. It wasn't. I think I saw 5 episodes. And I just gave up on everything from all of it. I realized I couldn't get into any aspect.

Yeah, the books have a certain personality that can be hard to get into. Im not sure if it was a translation issue or what. I found the first one a bit of slog, but the 2nd and 3rd got increasingly better. And that's surprising for a sci-fi book trilogy because usually all the fun creative world building stuff is in the first one.
