The Man in the High Castle. Made it through the first two seasons somehow, but I’m done.

is it fair to interpret "tried" as "passively watched with undiluted scorn"?

i tried to get into station 11.

if tried can mean "listened with undiluted scorn while coworkers watched," my list includes billions.

The Lord of the Rings stuff. Maybe if i'd read the books i'd appreciate them a lot more, but just couldn't get into them.

The Expanse was on for me; I watched 2-3 episodes while I was reading the books and just had no desire to keep going.

A much more recent one is The Sandman on Netflix, which I watched 2 1/2 episodes of.

I think there's something to be said for the fact that they are both adaptations.

I watched one episode of The Expanse and it was awful. It would take a huge effort for me to give it another shot.

Thomas Jane's hat should be a crime.

I watched season one of Ozark and then completely lost interest. Same with Westworld and The Leftovers.

I remember watching Natural Born Killers from start to finish, always expecting to get into it. I don't know what I was thinking.

I tried this about a month ago and couldn't make it halfway through. Just felt like a complete mess to me. Also, JFK and Any Given Sunday. Not a Stone fan I guess.

Atlanta is so d*mn good, but I haven’t started season 3.

But those first two seasons are some of the best tv I’ve seen.
