Votes: 594,784
Another series that I plan to give another go, I originally found this show pretty unbearable to watch. Slow and boring, with too much focus on planting mysteries to be found out later. Whether towards the end of the episode, a few episodes down the road, or a few seasons down the road. Boring, and stupid. (12 or 13 episodes....I really tried to like this show)

Votes: 123,304
Not a fan of mysteries in the first place, but this show seemed a little too dark and demented for my tastes. Seemed really well-made though. (4 or 5 episodes)
23. Archer (2009–2023)
TV-MA | 22 min | Animation, Action, Comedy
Covert black ops and espionage take a back seat to zany personalities and relationships between secret agents and drones.

Votes: 260,389

Votes: 1,081,218
I cannot stand this show. Characters that you don't like and/or don't relate to, on top of their retarded decision making. A show that never really allows you to forget yourself into the world, with it's awful writing you are completely aware that this disaster will be over in 40 minutes. (2...whole....seasons....)
