In a sentence or phrase--what ruined a popular TV show or streaming series for you?

The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel-cutesy banter Shrinking on Apple-Jason Segel's physical comedy and Jessica Williams' sassy one-liners This is Us--Angst and Chrissy Metz Love and Death on Max--anachronisms like The Smothers Brothers on TV and the wrong hair and makeup

Thanks, OP/R1, because I really didn't know what the fuck you were talking about.

Though I still don't have a smart answer to add to the mix because I maybe still don't get some of your lingo.

Severance -- Adam Scott's face

The Bear -- the constant shouting

Happy Valley -- the (child) trauma porn

The Smothers Brothers show went off the air in 1969. The show was set in 1978-80.

Think of all the 70s hair and makeup you've seen and compare the photo.

I enjoyed both Grey's Anatomy and Scandal in their early years, but both went off the rails.

Grey's became like ER where it was massive tragedy porn (plane crashes, etc.) and Scandal went just....someplace fucking weird, plus even that weirdness couldn't compete with some of Trump's BS.

Jessica Pare in Mad Men. Can't put my finger on it, but she ruined every episode she was in for me.

R6 I didn't mind Megan for a while, she was an annoying archetype as much as Betty was, but the character FAR outstayed what her usefulness was in story.

Adding Falsone and Ballard to Homicide: Life on the Street. I was surprised to find I actually liked Callie Thorne in other shows, in particular Rescue Me.
