TV Shows you stopped watching

Has anyone really enjoyed a show, watched many seasons of it then stopped for whatever reason?

My most recent is The Walking Dead, a show I really love but it seems to have gone downhill and therefore I have had no motivation to watch it for the past year.

I wouldn't include shows where you've watched some of the first season and then ditched it, as I think that's pretty common.

Other shows I've stopped (not all for the same reasons and some i hope to catch up on/finish):

Bates Motel
Lost
Breaking Bad
Skins (UK)
Shameless (UK & US)
Gotham
Mad Men

It seems I abandon shows quite frequently... my bad.

Recent shows,

Ray Donovan I stopped middle of season two
Westworld I saw till the end of season two, but will probably not watch another season if made
Modern Family I stopped about half way through the last season.

Just recently gave up on NuMacGyver. I was giving it a chance to evolve into something less stupid, but it went the other way.

I totally get why people bailed on Mad Men. That show gets hard to watch about 3/4s through. But the story is very rewarding if you stick it out.

I get why a lot of people see it as slow. It really is at times. It also loses it's seriousness in the last season or so as well. Very compelling when it was at it's peak though.

Bates Motel - It just got too unrealistic? Too much going on.

Camping, on HBO. The first ep was okay. I wanted to see how Jennifer Garner would do with comedy. The second ep was not really good. Garner’s character is very annoying and you-want-to-smash-her-face-in awful, and then I actually read the show’s credits, and I saw that beyond-repulsive, unfunny, nepotism-basking, vomitous, putrid, for-the-love-of-God-never-let-me-see-that-sow-nude-again Lena
Denholm is producer and co-writer on this project. Nu-huh. Bu-bye. You are are a blight on the entertainment industry and on womanhood, Lena. I will not do Thing One to support you. Please die soon.

I watched the first episode of The Wire but then stopped because I found it too hard to follow. I'll probably go back to it one day.
