give up on?
I watched several seasons of each of these before stopping:
Seinfeld
How I Met Your Mother
Two and a Half Men
Good Girls
How to Get Away with Murder
In all cases, I felt that the characters really didn't grow. They kept making the same mistakes over and over. For the last two, I watched all the way til the final season before giving up.

I don't necessarily give up on them, I just drift away, even if it is a show I really enjoy. Not really sure why but I have rarely seen the last season or two of any show.

It's pretty rare for me to watch all of anything. I think I just get bored with the characters after several seasons and want something new, perhaps? |

Too many to mention, but I never could get into Seinfeld.

The Walking Dead is the only show I can think of that I gave up on. All of the other shows I watch I may not watch week to week but I eventually binge seasons. But I haven’t watched a single episode of TWD since season five.

Once Upon a Time. It got convoluted. Was before the time shift; but I came back to watch the initial finale.
Grey's Anatomy. I still record it; but that's more out of laziness.
There are lots of shows I just never started, like Station 19.

Another vote for Grey’s Anatomy. There were a lot of hospital/doctor shows towards/at the ed of ER, and they all felt subpar to ER and I couldn't get into any of them.
I also didn’t care for:
Parenthood
Fear the Walking Dead
How I Met Your Mother

We tried Breaking Bad twice cause everyone raved - just did but enjoy. We tried a few episodes of Schitts creek and heat we really need to give longer - we’ll see. We don’t watch much so do t waste our time if we don’t enjoy.

The Crown. I watched up until the season where Charles decided not to marry Camilla, and she married Andrew Parker Bowles instead. I think Princess Anne also married for the first time at the end of that series. After that, it was all things that I remembered happening, so it wasn't so much fun any more.
That is probably the only one where I made a decision not to keep watching. There are others, especially recently with so many streaming options, where I just get interested in something new and 'forget' to come back to older shows, then I can't remember where I'm up to, so give up.

We don’t watch much so do t waste our time if we don’t enjoy. Schitt’s Creek is one of my favorite shows, but I didn’t really get into it until maybe four episodes in. It takes a little while to warm up to the characters’ quirks and see the relationships between them. |

I forgot to answer the original question. It’s usually a sci-fi or fantasy show with a large cast of characters and multiple locations — The Expanse and The Witcher come to mind. I just get lost after the break between seasons. If I binge them through multiple seasons, I stay with them longer. Altered Carbon was another one — they changed all the characters in the second season and I just couldn’t follow anymore.

In the past two years I've gone back and watched season 8 & 9. They were okay but I loved, loved, loved the Michael years. |

Walking Dead. I'd like to go back and finish it but there are way too many other shows.
This season of Survivor. I've watched most of the past seasons but I just couldn't get into this one.

Yup. The more supernatural it got, the less I enjoyed it, plus the characters started acting inconsistent with how they'd been written I thought. I jumped ship on pretty much every procedural. Law and Order, SVU, CSI. I also abandoned Grey's Anatomy. |
