13 Shows That Let Us Down This Season. Big Time.

Flash/Arrow: So much angst and I can barely care anymore. Part of me wants first season Oliver Queen to just come and put this season's Olly out of his misery with a couple of well-placed shots. Better yet, can we spin off into a series about sisters Talia and Nyssa al Ghul? Bad enough that Oliver's biggest struggle was with his own long-seeded guilt, but Barry's Big Bad was LITERALLY himself. And then he STILL had to pay the price for Flashpoint. I get that superheroes need to recognize their flaws to retain that accessibility and humanity but when did the super villains have to be so improbably, overwhelmingly superior? - Diana

iZombie started out a couple of seasons ago as a funny and fresh take on the worn out zombie craze, but this season has been, in a word, BORING. It's a one note show, with the same story structure week in and week out. Bye, Felicia! - Ron

I just can't imagine watching Chicago PD without Lindsay. I was already starting to lose interest somewhat before the announcement that Sophia Bush was leaving, but without her, what's the point? I may check in from time to time during crossovers, but will probably not keep up with it weekly anymore. - Stacy

Aside from the must-watch crossover episodes, nothing significant ever happens on the show. While some of the characters are fun, there are too many of them. There are never any character arcs; only plot on top of the plot, most of which they manage to resolve in one hour, and then disregard. - Mandy

I'm trying, but I might have to pull the plug on Supergirl. It takes me weeks to watch an episode. It doesn't quite have the same charm that it did in its first season. Some of the best characters have been underused. Kara sometimes feels like she's taking a backseat on her own show. Her relationship situation is not appealing. The best thing about the season has been Maggie and Alex's relationship and Tyler Hoechlin as Superman. I'll catch them during crossovers. - Jasmine

I seriously thought about ditching Scandal this season. The show used to be about Olivia and her group of Gladiators fighting for justice, but Olivia lost her white hat long ago. This season she actually bragged about killing a Vice President and seemed to revel in the fact that she’d bludgeoned someone to death with a chair. I no longer care about Olivia, and what she does, or whom she sleeps with. The only reason I’ll probably still tune in for Scandal season 7 is that it will be its last…and I’m rooting for Abby and David to get back together, but if I didn’t know the show was ending, I’d bow out now. - Christine

Once Upon a Time, Empire was my favorite show. Somewhere along the way, it lost focus on the Lyons and opted to focus on stunt casting. Cookie is still as hilarious as ever, but her one-liners are not enough to keep me watching this trainwreck of a series. - Paul

Are any of the characters even likable anymore? I'm down to only liking Aram. Are we supposed to still be rooting for the FBI? It is ridiculous that Red gets away with so many nefarious and deadly deeds, and the FBI just overlooks it. Not a single one of the characters can be viewed as a shining example of moral turpitude. Also, how are we going into season five and STILL dealing with the question of whether or not Reddington is Elizabeth's father? - Jasmine

Season 3 was a mess, and the thought of killing Wes off just seemed so last minute. It seemed this time that they’d written themselves into a corner, and he was the only character that Annalise would react like that too. Plus, Season 3 just wasn’t nearly as good as Season 1 and just barely a step up from Season 2. If it wasn’t for Viola Davis, would anyone still be watching? - Jay

I'm never going to give up Days of Our Lives since I've been watching for 31 years but with some of the bad writing recently I'm tempted. Characters are flip flopping so much to fit the needs of the plot that I have whiplash every time I write my review and a lot of my favorite characters are either dead, back burnered, or totally unrecognizable. I hope the new writing team taking over this summer can turn some of this around. - Jack

My family loved Kevin Can Wait. It was a sweet but funny sitcom about Kevin, a newly retired cop on Long Island, his wife, Donna, and their three kids. It was the kind of fun, light-hearted show you could watch with your kids and laugh at yourselves. But then CBS announced that the character of Donna wasn’t returning for season 2. What?!? The best relationship on the entire show is the one between Kevin and Donna. They are affectionate, realistic and funny. I know that Leah Remini will be joining the show, but I’m not interested in a King of Queens reboot. We loved you Kevin Can Wait, but if there’s no Donna, then there’s no reason to tune back in. - Christine

I've watched my last superhero comic show on The CW. They are all so boring. Nothing new ever happens and the same stories play out over and over again. It's mind boggling that nobody can think of something new to do with such talented casts and a plethora of characters available tell them. Oh well. In this era of so-called "peak TV" there isn't any point in beating that drum any longer. - Carissa

There was a time when Homeland was one of Showtime's stand-out series. However, Homeland Season 6 continued to send the show into oblivion with the same tired old tropes and I'm so done with it. - Paul
