Rob RobinsonYou’re watching a TV series. It doesn’t appear to be all that people made it out to be, or you just aren’t enjoying it. Do you:
Abandon watching
Complete the series
Something else (toot me)

Lex Tenebris@rob I finish watching, but then I tend to write reviews – and good material on how to completely deconstruct a bad story or bad presentation and explain why it's bad, why it doesn't work, is more educational than looking at things that are good.
@LexTenebris Love the depth you go to with that, and very committed of you. I do tend to keep watching rather than abandon. And that even extends to watching additional seasons of the same terrible shows!
@rob I'm not sure it shows any level of commitment and more demonstrates that I'm an intellectual masochist, or perhaps a sadist – I do enjoy a good vivisection. More than I should.
At a certain point you cut your losses and run, of course. Bad writers tend to be bad in the same way over time so there's diminishing returns. The curse of art.
