8 Shows Reddit Refuses to Watch, No Matter How Popular They Are

Even as the era of Peak TV is slowly coming to an end, the sheer volume of new shows premiering each week can still be overwhelming for the casual viewer. It's simply impossible to keep up with every interesting project. However, even the most popular and highly-regarded shows can sometimes be complete duds. Reddit users have revealed their choices for the most overrated hit series titles.

Here are eight shows that Reddit users refuse to watch:

Sons of Anarchy

This iconic biker show may have become one of the most popular dramas in the FX portfolio, but many viewers stopped watching it after a few episodes. The show has so much dialogue and violence that binge-watching can be a total chore.

The Expanse

While this sci-fi series concluded its run with a couple of stellar seasons, many people didn't stick around long enough to get to those alleged masterpieces. They dropped the show during its first two seasons, arguing that it was just not worth the drag.

The Walking Dead

This hit zombie show started strong, but as the seasons progressed, it devolved into a daytime soap where the characters seemed more concerned about their love lives than survival. Unsurprisingly, a significant portion of the TWD fandom stopped watching the show at that point.

Friends

This popular sitcom offers perfect background noise, but when Redditors try to actually watch it, the show falls apart. Many of the storylines feel repetitive, and the jokes don't land as well as in other comedy shows.

Adventure Time

Watching cartoons is a guilty pleasure for many adults, but Redditors are not particularly fond of Adventure Time. They argue that the show was created for children, and binge-watching it often feels like a waste of time.

You

The romantic crime series that captivated the world a few years ago is currently one of Netflix's biggest shows. However, many people struggle to get through its first season, which feels like a Hallmark special in all the wrong ways.

Peaky Blinders

The show that catapulted Cillian Murphy to superstardom started strong but failed to deliver in subsequent seasons. The storylines felt repetitive, and watching grown men fight each other in every single episode was something Redditors found rather boring.

American Horror Story

This unique horror anthology show became a hit with its first season, but many people lost interest when they realized that new seasons would feature different characters and storylines.
