I was really looking forward to seeing the Three Body Problem, but was immediately shot down in the first minutes by hyperfeminist girlboss superscientists.
And I did read the first book, so I know none of that was true to the source material but Netflix’s own political agenda.
Dexter stands out. Solid first 4-5 seasons and then just folded in on itself. The final season was just awful.
More recently Ragnorak. I thought the first 2 seasons were interesting whilst building to something interesting. But nope, season 3 was just all over the place and it has one of the worst endings I’ve ever seen in a TV series. I genuinely don’t know how any writer could’ve written it without feeling shame, it’s one of the biggest Don’ts in writing.
The Walking Dead. I think I saw up to the end of season 5 but damn that show got wearing. Just endless misery and “Ah, the humans are the real monsters” schtick season after season after season.
Game of Thrones. Went from one of the best book / show adaptions in the history of television to one of the worst, rushed endings, now infamous.
Not helped by the books not being finished and the show runners wanting to move on (HBO was willing to do more seasons, it was their cash cow — the showrunners said they could do it in less).
Z nation. Last two seasons were wild and lost people. There’s being open to wacky and out the box ideas then there’s making the seasons plot that ridiculous.
Vikings.
After Ragnar died the show lost itself. They should have settled on one heir as the new main character (preferably Björn) instead of opening up several plots with all the sons and Floki. The show didn’t have a direction anymore and most of these storylines felt unconnected, confusing and ultimately went nowhere.

Dude, did you mean to post this to r/AskReddit?
Fear the walking dead (I got bored in later seasons)
Heroes. Season one was pretty damn good and then I think there was that big writer’s strike and season 2 was just awful
It’s an older one, but Prison Break.
House of cards – when they binned Kevin spacey off it just tanked.
The Simpsons, season 1-8 is iconic then 9-10 is good but everything else is just mid to awful. 75% of their seasons are awful
The 100

So, that was that.
Westworld season one was awesome. Everything after was trash
Shameless, It’s always Sunny in Philadelphia(they kind of redeemed themselves though), Parks and Rec.

Heroes, Game of Thrones, Arrow, Gilmore Girls, House of Cards, Babylon 5, Stranger Things, How I met your Mother.
Also, honourable mention: The MCU. I’ll argue it should be classified as a TV-show.
