[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8051080, member: 3400"] I usually ditch out of something if I'm not liking it. Though, there are some exceptions, particularly if they're relatively short. For example, watching a movie that's not very good is a bit different from hate-watching a TV show. It's only a couple of hours of your time compared to anywhere between 10 and 25 hours. I did, however, force myself to finish reading [B]Lord Foul's Bane[/B] because so many people rave about the Thomas Covenant series. I thoroughly hated the experience but I thought I had give it a try to see if it got better. It didn't. As far as TV goes, I can't say I liked the last parts of [B]The Ranch[/B] on Netflix. I think it started OK, but got the point where it just wasn't funny any more. There were still comedic moments and there was a nice element to the ending, but I spent much more time on it that it was worth. For movies, my wife finally got me to watch the last two installments of the [B]Back to the Future[/B] trilogy. I had only ever watched the first one, which was highly enjoyable. The latter two were eminently skippable. I wouldn't call it hate-watching because I was checking out the experience. But I wouldn't say they were good. Oh, I nearly forgot. [B]The Hobbit[/B] trilogy. Going to the first one was expected because we had to see it, right? But it was terrible and rest of the trilogy even worse.
