TV shows you gave up on.
Not necessarily because they were "bad", maybe it was just that the show didn't personally drag you in and you weren't that fussed about seeing where it headed.
The Wire - stopped watching after season 2. Didn't dislike the show, just didn't feel like committing to any more seasons as not really that into that particular style of drama.
Gomorrah - Stopped watching after 2 seasons I believe. I dunno...just felt like the show was somewhat going round in circle and the show was losing it's initial punch.
Better Call Saul - I haven't given up so much as giving it a break. I have heard from numerous sources that it really picks up in season 3 onwards. Nothing at all against the show...I just wanted to watch other stuff MORE after two seasons of what was primarily a legal drama.
The Walking Dead - started off amazing and was fairly strong up until season 7 or so, but I was tired of sitting through episode after episode where hardly anything happened and the seasons were basically 3x longer than they needed to be.
Watching the pilot episode and not going any further doesn't count (I watched the pilot of Euphoria out of interest, with no plans to continue). You need to have watched 4+ episodes or half a season.

The first couple seasons are boring.
But later on, Gus Fring comes back. and you get to see cartel operations and Mike and all that. Feels like Breaking Bad again

The Walking Dead.
About six months ago I forced myself to finish the last couple seasons I never watched. During the last season, I would turn on the episodes to keep my word to myself, but I wasn’t paying attention. It couldn’t keep my attention at all.
It was weird. They were introducing and killing off characters in the same episodes, all the main characters are gone, there is no emotional investment or concern for the people, I assume directors changes at least one time because there are a few points where many aspects of cinematography drastically change all at once. It isn’t even the same show it was when it started.
I finished. I did the task. I was relieved it was over.
Bro, checked out netflix yesterday. Whole new season with like 20 episodes is out.
fml.
now I have to watch this bs.

On topic I did try Ozark a few years ago after so many people were praising it and I didn't get the hype. Boring show with annoying characters. I watched the entire first season and an episode or 2 into the 2nd season before just giving up.

I don't watch much TV so I only have a couple
Cobra-Kai was great the first several episodes of the first season. Then it quickly turned into some lame Dawson's Creek type of affair with teenage angsty crap take precedence over Johnny Lawrence. His redemption arc was what made the show such a promising thing in the beginning. Girls getting upset because "I thought you were my friend! omg ur sooo two-faced!" yeah fuk outta here with that. I stopped by the end of the first season and I hear the subsequent seasons are more of the same.
South Park. No explanation required.

The Walking Dead - This show was amazing to me in the first few seasons. After some of my favorite characters died it got weird, and the newer characters didn't stick for me (plus a lot of them die quick anyways lol). A lot of the show is just wasting time in the woods.
Naruto - Stopped watching after Naruto vs Gaara in the early episodes. My main reasoning at the time was other games/shows took my attention. But I'm glad I did when I learned that there's literally 791 flashbacks in the anime (not including Naruto Shippuden), and 91 filler episodes. The sequel (Boruto) I hear is way worse.
Attack on Titan - I loved the first two seasons. I know most people loved the newest season, but the entire mystery is uncovered in the 2nd to last season, and I saw no point in continuing.
My Hero Academia - I loved the earlier seasons of the show, srs. But I mostly watched it to see Midoriya grow and explore the One For All powers and history. It's so slow moving though, and they waste so much time on so many side characters that I didn't give a chit about. I might revisit this eventually though.

Yellowstone - Got through 3 or 4 episodes but didn't really get going for me. Heard great things just need to get through the beginning first (plus I want to see the prequels and all), so I'll probably give it another go.
Agreed on Walking Dead - Stopped watching after 3rd season. Got to the point where I'd just fall asleep, wake up a half hour later, and literally not miss a single thing. Walking, talking, kill a few zombies, walk and talk some more, rinse and repeat.

Same page on The Wire. Couldn’t even finish Season 2.
Gave up on Walking Dead shortly after Rick left
And same with Better Call Saul. Was pumped for it but let go during S2.
Debating on giving up on Yellowstone but gonna see how this season turns out.
And The Shield is GOAT for me

Saw the first episode.
It had amazing editing but the female characters play these mind games. The editing manipulates you into thinking that it's romantic but it's not.

Black Sails. I watched everything up to the very last episode. The penultimate episode was so bad I didn't care what happened at the end.
Better Call Saul. Same reason as OP.
Most other shows I watch one episode and quit (happens most of the time) or watch the whole thing (rare).

justified after 2 seasons. barely finished the second.
the show just got more convoluted and ridiculous to advance the story line. i'm sure all these shows are good for 1.5 seasons and then its hard to really continue. same with sons of anarchy years ago.

The Witcher spin-off.

Recommend y'all finish BCS. Best TV show since Breaking Bad easy.

Blue Bloods:story line just wasn't there for me and it started dipping its toes in the whole "cops are all bad" mantra each episode
Vampire Diaries:main character(s) became dull and the story was just not as interesting anymore
Big Bang Theory:still need to watch the last season, but I ended up getting distracted with this show, said I would watch the last season, forgot
Kevin Can Wait:got rid of the actress who played the mother (who made the show good) and Kevin James replaced her w/ his old co-worker from King of Queens for nostalgia reasons
Last Man Standing:got rid of the main actress playing the older daughter for a new actress and turned her into a raging feminist
NCIS:too many episodes to get caught up, got bored
Cougar Town:lame and boring
S.W.A.T:pandered to the woke left and all their episodes featured praises to the BLM movement and just went off the rails w/ propaganda BS
The Walking Dead:got bored of the show after around the 4th season
Blacklist:i get shows aren't supposed to be "real", but this one just got too dull w/ how unrealistic it became at times
Suits:although I watched the last 2-3 episodes of the final season (Mike was back), I stopped when the actor who played Mike, left the show
Flash:female drama between Barry and Iris became lame and the show fired Hartley Sawyer from the show for Twitter posts he made 10+ years ago
Bones:too much relationship drama romance from the two main characters, ruined it for me
All that I could remember at the moment.

Peacemaker, stopped watching it after I saw they went the anti-white route.
Peaky Blinders, incredibly boring quit after the first season. Returned to watch the season the Sicilian-Americans came in with Adrian Brody playing the lead Mobster, loved that. Then quit again after because it returned to be a snooze fest.

Westworld and American Gods, both started out amazing and turned to absolute chit in the following seasons
also quit on Vikings and Peaky Blinders after a handful of seasons
Spoiler!

Spoiler!
Vikings would be a 9/10 show imo if it would've ended when Ragnar died
Peaky Blinders just became boring and repetitive after a while, first couple of season were still worth it though
