I usually just search up the rest of the episodes/movie on wikki or fast forward the boring parts. I like to know what happens at the end of shows too

“Friends from College” was a tough watch, with zero respectable characters, but I made it through.

There was another horrible series with Michelle Monaghan called "Echoes" which I had to force myself to finish. It was one of the worst shows I've ever seen, but I had to see just how bad it was going to get.

It started off interesting, and I always like watching European shows because they are often more interesting than American shows: more dialogue, interesting ideas, and amazing cinematography. Plus, you get to learn about different languages and self-expression. I am half way through the season and it is getting progressively worse. All of these friends are dying in one place, and many of them are trying to move on as if nothing happened. What the heck. Maybe it’s because they are SwedishI only joke because part of my family is Swedish. The problem is that I need to finish the series because if am stubborn! How many of you force yourself to finish a series in this way, and which series were and why? I might have to confess that I watched one season of Love Island, which was the worst, but I had to see what happened in the end.
No. I would not do this to myself. I’ve stopped shows I didn’t like. I couldn’t even finish watching The Beef! Just horrible near the end. I read about the ending but couldn’t stand actually watching it.

However, I have a few times been talked into giving a show another chance and have been really glad I did. Two that come to mind are Breaking Bad and Ted Lasso.
OP here. I agree with you. I wanted to stop watching Peaky Blinders after season 1. It was too violent. I am that I kept watching because I love that show.

I used to compulsively finish, but have totally freed myself. My husband and I never watched the last three episodes of Ted Lasso season 3. Felt like such a chore by then that I wasn't even tempted.
I might honestly quit more shows than I finish at this point.

I mean, that's the only reason Grey's Anatomy is still on the air. The fans who can't stop until the end but then it gets renewed because they are still watching when really they want ABC to put them out of their misery.

Absolutely not. Once a show gets bad, I stop watching it. We watched the Avatar cartoon with the kids and it was good. We watched one episode of the live action Avatar TV show on Netflix and it was TERRIBLE and quit after one.
