Surprised to see so few mentions of For All Mankind, I really wanted to like it I did, but I only got about 2 episodes in. I realized the setting was the only thing that remotely interested me, the characters were bland at best, and absolutely incompetent at worst.

It was a series with the ripe call to the "competency porn" as I've seen described as, but the characters couldn't contrast the setting any further. I did spoil myself before I tried getting into it, a few moments stuck out to me. Firing on two unarmed cosmonauts, getting crushed between two interplanetary vessels while trying to covertly siphon fuel, and having a child on mars. Just did not feel very NASA by the end of it, tell me if you think I'm wrong and should give another chance however.

Oddly enough I think I found that aesthetic I was looking for in Stargate SG-1, I never really gave that franchise a chance until now, I'm almost surprised how well it seemed to age, especially how little I see it mentioned in comparison to Trek, or even Doc Who (which i know next to nothing of)

Lost. I got about halfway through the first season back then until I couldn't shake the impression that it was a bunch of convoluted horse shit produced by hacks who thought they were bleeding edge. History proved my impression correct.

Last of Us. Fallout I didn't even bother with. I probably would've bailed on Breaking Bad as well if it wasn't for everyone around me telling that it'll get good eventually (it didn't)

I had allready seen a lot of documentaries about chernobyl, so the recent series did not cut it fir me. It was too dramatised

Handmaid's Tale.

Never got through even a single episode.

Would it be worth it? Is there vindication or is it just endless boring patriarchy?

Walking Dead. There's like several shows and a dozen seasons each, although I actively avoided it since it started about, not into zombies shows.

Squid Game, never really like dubs and just didn't get into listening Korean yet.

Breaking Bad because of the color tone. I don't like desert environments and they leaned into that hard.
