I'm sure we've all got a TV series that we absolutely loved, then a few seasons in we just started hating it.

So what TV series did you fall out of love with, and why did you?

misfits was good until nathan left
shameless uk was good until around season 3 when family members started leaving

American horror story and once upon a time. There comes a point where the introduction of too many different characters can harm a show. Ahs is just too dialogue heavy imo needs more mindless killing

I'd have to agree with Kyle; on Once Upon a Time.

I used to love watching it then it just go to a point where I wish I never started watching it and it just plain bores me for the 45 minutes it's on.

Once upon a time. It was my favourite show and then season 3 happened and they pandered to what was popular (captain swan) and to make it happen, wrote storylines that were stupid and didn't make sense, abandoned the main principals of the show (it was supposed to be about family and second chances) and wrote the characters as really out of character. I hate how they don't bother concluding storylines like Tamara/greg and leave things unanswered like how pan had the photo of henry or why pan and rumple were linked. The splitting of the season into 2 parts didn't work and a big bad in each part is so
boring. They have ruined the show by killing neal for me and there is no way it can be redeemed. I hate how they treated mrj!!

Doctor Who, sort of. I still watch it and enjoy it, but I don't care about it anywhere near what I used to back in 2008-2010ish.

Pushing Dasies too, though that ended a long time ago.

OUAT definitely, started out with high hopes because the premise is great but then they wrote pretty much every single character completely wrong and had plot holes everywhere from like the 1st episode even (we're a tiny town with only one officer and no-one can find us but hi look at all these policemen and court people and stuff) and just generally terrible writing. Haven't even bothered keeping up with this most recent season of it

Agreed about skins. The first gen cast were amazing and then it went downhill every generation. The last 3 part series was an awful way to conclude!! Hated those eps.

They were father and son. Obviously everyone is related haha.

Omg pushing daisies is amazing, do you not like joy and fun?!
I agree with Doctor Who though. I still haven't watched the Christmas Special yet.. and I don't even care. (although I did like the last season, the spark is still missing).

Why did rumple and pan have to both die though? Just because your father and son doesn't explain that.

once upon a time because like has been mentioned, the writing is awful now and fan servicing with ships that don't make sense

pretty little liars for inconsistency and how they had written characters likes mona, all over the place and then killed her off which only makes us have more questions. it takes seasons to answer stupid things and we still officially don't know who the woman in black is or A for that matter, and i have a feeling it'll have an anticlimactic ending with someone random. don't like how they're writing ali and how they have her little be a emotional mess one minute and a scheming ***** the other, they need to decide whether they want her evil or not because it's at a stage where she can't be redeemed for everything she's done which is annoying because the shows premise was about her 'death'. marlene king is an idiot and an awful writer!! two more seasons and it'll get even worse, especially if it still clings to the teen drama vibe and doesn't get any darker

once upon a time and pretty little liars for what he said ^^^

and also Revenge... it started out really promising and now it's so predictable, the writers need to really pick up the pace

Doctor who, idk why I just haven't really watched the newest season. I also agree with Skins and Misfits, the first generations were really good and then when they start bringing in new characters and all the old ones leave its just not good anymore

When David Tennant left I stopped watching Doctor Who. Not sure why, just don't think I liked the change :(

I'd say doctor who but the opposite for me. I've always watched it but I found it got too stupid at times when Russell T Davies was the show runner. I liked Tennant but he became a bit too human, crying over rose, then dying, so while it was sad when he went I was kind of glad to see a newer doctor. I did enjoy Smith, but the writing at times let him down the power of love and so on.

I really like Capaldi as a more older serious doctor. I was a big fan of classic who way before new who returned and he feels much more like a classic who. But I'm annoyed by the constant drama and kiddy episodes that keep appearing probably to try and balance it out. The robots of sherwood was a big example, having its moments but feeling like something you'd see on CBBC.

A show I used to love was Trollied probably because I've worked for Tesco and Asda, working in retail for over 7 years. It was a good comedy, especially with the two butches and the deputy manager and something relatable. The problem however is the cast have started to leave moving on to other things and they've tried to replace them, trying to get other people to play the same type of character and in most cases it just doesn't work. Sometimes you just have to call it quits really, as the show doesn't even feel like the same show anymore.

I think it was those "power of love" episodes that were killing it for me. I'm not suggesting it was better when I watched it, but I think I just grew out of it a bit and started to watch other shows & do other things.

I'd recommend checking the latest then the power of love part has been removed. It's not perfect as I mentioned, but feels a bit better written in most parts

Heroes, it was great but I stopped watching half way through the final series because it had a terrible story line. I remember being really into the remake on survivors back in 2008. I stopped watching towards the end of the second series as it was not as gripping as the first but then it got cancelled anyway.

Glee, the story lines were amazing and now I still watch it but just don't feel the same connection after everything changed to be honest.

I've binge watched Doctor Who from the new S1 to S7 (currently-ish) and I suppose that I have to agree with slightly falling out of love with the show as far as I'm concerned. I honestly think it's not the actors and characters, but more of the writer's fault for sloppy arcs and the fact that you don't really get that feeling when watching the older seasons.
