What Geek Media Do You Refuse To Partake In?

Wheel of Time books. Similar to the MtG idea, everyone I talk to makes it sound both amazing and terrible. "14 books and only half of them are bad!" The investment just puts me off. Same with the TV show Lost.
I only finished it because I had about 20 years invested in it.
No interest in anime or manga. No interest in Dr. Who. Very little interest in Star Trek.
I have no interest in Dr. Who either. I watched one season, enjoyed it even, but never felt the need to watch it again. I actually like Strange New Worlds, but I pretty much gave up on Trek with Voyager and Enterprise sealed the deal.
Warhammer. In all of its iterations. I think I would be able to appreciate it as satire (and I'm always willing to give CIAPHAS CAIN, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM a bit of a pass in that regard), but it's a style of grimdark that I simply don't have the patience for anymore. I need there to be some hope out there, somewhere, to latch on to.
Warhammer fiction works best in short stories or little blurbs in game books giving us some background on why your little plastics guys are trying to murder my little plastic guys. It doesn't work as well when you suddenly have to have a whole narrative in the setting. I read one 40k novel, by one of the more highly rated authors, and while it was horrible, I didn't feel compelled to read any others. (How the heck did anyone finish reading the Horus Heresy novels? There's like 40+ of them.)
Babylon 5.
I used to think you were cool!
