Is there a TV series you regret watching purely because of how long it was, and overall, how unsatisfactory it was when it finished? (piefed.social)

For me, it was The Walking Dead. It obviously suffered seriously quality decline over its run - but because it was so long, I could've instead watched so many other shows instead.

Battle Star Galatica. I guess both the original when it was on TV waaaaayyy back when but more so the reboot. They story creators had to plan the ending the way it went, but I was deeply annoyed by the whole final arc.

I really enjoyed it when it was first on, I recall it suffered through a writers strike but it was one of the first shows I'd really gotten in to as it was being put out. Every time I think of rewatching it I only get through a couple episodes tho. It just doesn't really do it for me. Hard to explain because I generally love a good rewatch.
