ASOIAF, Supernatural, Terry Pratchett, podfic, fanvids...to name a few.

Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad.

Apparently I deserve to suffer being forever asked "but have you tried to?".

Yes, I have tried.

I still don't.

Breaking Bad.
How I Met Your Mother.
The recent She Hulk run.

- Being Human (UK). When a kid became a vampire (after accidentally watching a graphic sex tape), I just... couldn't do it. It crossed a line for me, especially when I heard it only gets worse. Also, the ghost's reason for dying felt predictable to me (I guessed pretty quickly that's what happened), and it annoyed me that when her friend was with her former abuser, she was angry, not worried that he might, I don't know, get mad and throw her down a flight of stairs too?

- Outlander. No explanation, although the spoilers I heard didn't help.

American Gods

Sherlock. He's a jackass, the episodes are entirely too long for my taste (seriously, I've watched shorter movies), and I don't find any of the actors attractive enough to make up for either of those.

Free! I wanted to like it because it would be nice to be in an active, recent anime fandom and it looked pretty decent. But I couldn't. Don't care for any of the characters, they're just dull to me. Don't really care for their character designs. None of them stand out, except for maybe Rin and that's only because of his shark teeth. And I've come to realize that I don't really care for such blatant fanservice, even if it is aimed at me.

Live action TV series as a whole medium.

Korra.

To say I was a huge fan of Avatar is a vast understatement.

But I gave up on Korra after the first season.

What a disappointment.

Game of Thrones. I tried the books, the show, AND the audiobook.

Bitten tv series. I liked the books, but in TV form Elena is such an annoying twat. Noped out of the series when they killed off Antonio and had him tell Nick he'd be having kids someday. Just what.

Game of Thrones

Sea urchin sushi

Black Sails, though I'm not sure that should count as I only watched a couple episodes...

It came at a perfect time too, as I had played Black Flag a bit earlier and was really excited to see some of the characters again in a different light, but most everyone was unlikable and I wasn't that invested.

Fear, though I think I should probably give it another try because I didn't complete it. I wasn't wowed by the game-play and got kind of bored, though I liked the premise and know the sequels are supposed to be better.

My family.

Breaking Bad and Mad Men. I just couldn't get into either of those shows, so I don't get the mass appeal.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Doctor Who (I only liked the Donna season, but that's about it)
Agents of SHIELD
The Star Trek reboot films
Pacific Rim (though I suspect I might have a slightly more favorable opinion if I see it a second time)
Harry Potter
Burger King chicken fries

Sherlock and Elementary. I just can't get into them. Then again, I was never a Sherlock Holmes fan so I shouldn't be surprised. The only fictional detective I really like is Poirot.

Scandal. I like Shonda shows, but this one didn't do it for me. I didn't find any of the character likeable, which is something I need to enjoy something.

Breaking Bad for the same reason.

Frankenberry and Boo-berry. I will have only Count Chocula thank you.

Salsa. The music, not the condiment. I'm half Puerto Rican and I grew up with my mom playing Joe Cuba and Tito Puente records. Never could get into them. I would just go to my room and play punk records. I am such a pathetic excuse for a Puerto Rican.

Farscape. There was some interesting stuff going on there, but Ben Browder is one of the least watchable people I have ever seen, half the other characters annoyed me, and the ones I did kinda like weren't worth sitting through the ones I didn't.

Neopets. All of my childhood friends loved it. I tried it for a few days but it just never did anything for me.

Supernatural, Sherlock, Firefly, and Merlin. All shows my friends and/or family love that I've tried to watch and just can't care about at all.

Also all fanfic. I've never been able to read a fic without feeling like it's out of character.

Coffee and lime flower tea. Both look and smell delicious but taste like crap. Worse still, I used to love lime flower tea as a kid, but somehow I no longer do.
