I have watched 50+ Netflix shows, but I hate these 10

10. Wednesday (Season 2)

Expectations for Jenna Ortega’s return were sky-high, but the 2026 reviews have been surprisingly divided. Aside from a few visual highlights, many viewers feel the show traded its dark "Addams Family" edge for a generic, hollow teen-drama formula. For those who wanted a gothic mystery, this shift into "pure trash" territory was a massive letdown.

9. Sirens

This 2025 release is a classic example of a show that looks great in 30-second social media clips but fails as a long-form story. Those who actually binged the series found it to be "all hook and no substance," leading to a hollow viewing experience. The open-ended finale felt like a cheap cliffhanger rather than an earned conclusion, leaving us fans more annoyed than intrigued.

8. Buying London

While the Selling Sunset formula still works for some, this British spinoff was met with an immediate and collective "ugh." Critics and reality TV junkies alike have labeled it as a dated and humorless imitation of the Los Angeles original. Without the authentic drama of its predecessor, it feels like a shallow attempt to capture lightning twice.

7. The Witcher (Post-Henry Cavill)

The transition from Henry Cavill to Liam Hemsworth remains a permanent fixture on the "Hate List" for many fantasy fans, including me. Beyond the casting change, the show’s continued departure from the beloved source material has caused a mass exodus of viewers. For many, the loss of Cavill was the final death knell for a series that had already lost its way.

6. Wayward

As one of Netflix’s newer mystery additions, Wayward is the poster child for a story that is all built-up with absolutely no payoff. The most common viewer complaint is the feeling of being "strung along" only to have the season end without answering any major questions. It’s a frustrating experience that feels more like a waste of time than a compelling thriller.

5. Big Mouth

At this stage in its long run, Big Mouth is a show you either obsessively love or absolutely loathe. As it pushes toward its final seasons, the increasingly crude humor and specific animation style have become an exhausting "hard pass" for many subscribers. What was once provocative now feels like it's simply trying too hard to stay relevant.

4. Good Times: Black Again

This animated reboot faced immediate backlash for leaning far too heavily into exaggerated and polarizing tropes. Even with an all-star voice cast, the series failed to capture the heart or social relevance of the 1970s original. Following a wave of poor reception and low viewership, it was officially canceled after just one season.

3. The Umbrella Academy (Season 4)

Despite a loyal fanbase, the final season released in late 2024 left a bitter taste for many who had been stuck by the Hargreeves siblings. The show seemed to forget why we loved these characters in the first place, trading emotional depth for a rushed and nonsensical finale. It’s a messy ending that many O.G. fans still haven't managed to forgive.

2. Nobody Wants This (Season 2)

What started as a surprise rom-com hit in its debut has quickly curdled into something fans are calling "unwatchable." The second season has been slammed for repeating tired storylines and stripping away the genuine chemistry that made the Joanne and Noah relationship work. It stands as one of the most frustrating and disappointing follow-ups in recent memory.

1. Squid Game (Season 3)

The first season was a lightning-in-a-bottle masterpiece, but by the time Season 3 arrived in late 2025, the magic had completely vanished. Many fans felt the stakes became "pointless and cringey," as the show desperately treaded the same ground just to milk a global brand. It is the ultimate cautionary tale of a limited series that should have stayed limited.
