Have you ever given up on a Trek series? If so, what was the last straw for you?

ST DSC: I watched the first season. I made repeated attempts to watch the second season purely for Anson Mount, but have not been successful as yet. Reasons? None of the characters have been personally compelling for me, aside from Captain Lorca. I don't like how the shows are dominated by one character and I hate, double-hate, loathe entirely their Klingons

ST Picard: Watched a couple of episodes of the first season and found it too dark and off-putting. (Mind, I love DS9, so dark isn't bad in itself.) Watched most of the third season but didn't finish. I just despise the worldbuilding that has followed off of 2009 blowing up Romulus.

ST Prodigy: Didn't make it ten minutes into this. May try again if it appears on Paramount.
 
With Discovery, I tried to watch three different seasons, petered out in all three. Wasn't really a last straw, though, and I bear the series no ill will. It just wasn't my thing.
 
I dropped Prodigy several times, the farthest I ever got was the holodeck kobayashi maru episode. Its just much more of a kids show then, say, Star Wars cartoons like The Clone Wars or even the old Star Trek TAS. I won't say its terrible, but even as someone who watches a lot of shows technically made for kids I just couldn't get through Prodigy.

I dropped Discovery a few episodes into Season 3, I just don't accept "The Burn" or anything related to it, and I hate its future setting in general (and I wasn't a huge fan of DSC in its first two seasons to begin with).

I got about 5 minutes into the Section 31 film and I turned it off before I gave in to the desire to throw a heavy object into my TV.

Besides those two series (and one Streaming movie) I've seen everything else up to this point.

Yep, the murdering of her family at the beginning was the final straw for me and it really confirmed my distaste for DIS. Haven't seen a second of either since.

I have no desire to watch dystopic SF right now. At least SNW isn't doing that which is why any and all sins are forgiven. It's as if THE ORIGINAL PILOT finally, finally sold a series set in the Pike era and we are watching that series.
 
Seems like a good scene to me if only for:

I guess Harry was half asleep when they covered 23rd Century history.
 
The Section 31 series that thankfully turned into a one-shot. The last straw was the first straw, namely its mere existence.

Other than that, nothing.
