There is an overwhelming amount of quality TV shows, too often mere clicks away. Between work and school I find myself having to carefully choose what I want to do in free time, which meant that some of these shows had to go. What shows have you dropped, and why?
Arrow is a particularly glaring example: I had picked it up last season because it was recommended to me but it fell fast in season three from its highs with the Deathstroke storyline. These days? The Batman parallels have become blatant, and it isn't nearly as fun as its own spinoff The Flash, which actually even feels like a comic book. Oliver is written to always be dark and broody about something, and often unnecessarily butts heads with one of his team members if only to play up the show's fatigued melodrama. I haven't watched an episode since the return from the mid-season break; truthfully, the only reason I had even made it to that point was because of Willa Holland but even then they stick her character with a shit storyline. Think I'll just compensate with her IG. (And she's got one for her photography, as well!)
