What's a show you've never watched and never will because people keep telling you. "You HAVE to watch it!" (hexbear.net)

I'll go first:

Breaking Bad.

I can't do it. I've seen the first season! I know what you're going to say next: oh but it gets better after the first season you HAVE to watch it.

The Walking Dead.

Can't do it. There is so much walking dead bullshit I simply can't watch it.

Battlestar Galactica.

I know its good. I've been told over and over and over again. I simply can't!

None of these shows are going to live up to the hype I can feel it in my bones.

Andor might be in that boat but I did watch it all the way through. Probably won't again. I liked it, but if you haven't seen it yet I can't imagen it lives up to the hype. Maybe a little.

The ones with a massive catalogue. Star wars, star trek, battlestar Galactica etc. Also massive deep worldbuilding.

Anything that got cancelled without a conclusion.

Soap operas and reality TV.

The nice thing about Star Trek is that the episodes are self-contained stories so you don't need to care about watching all of it.

Star Trek is phenomenal for exactly that reason. My partner can regularly re-watch literally the entire Trek back catalog over a few months, and, good for them, but god damn.

Yet I can still drop in for a night, watch five or six episodes, and I've only missed 5% (or less) of the context. It's great.

I've the every single episode of Star Trek at least twice.(Except the final season of Discovery) I have no clue how many times I've watched next gen at this point. TOS is my comfort show i use to fall asleep.

I'm not going to wholeheartedly endorse BSG, since it does devolve into slop after the first 2 seasons, but I don't think to lump it into that group. It's a pretty tight 4 seasons, the rest of the lore is not relevant at all. The original series is really not something people talk about, and Caprica is an add on that is totally skippable.

I did enjoy all 4 seasons personally, but that's on me.
