Just as examples:

I've never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn't realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
Oh, and I've never seen the "hawk tuah" video.

Game of Thrones maybe. To coin a phrase, “spare me the drama, and the incest.”

I love fantasy, it was right up my alley at the right time, but all the grit in GoT for me just resolves to alt-history Europe.

GoT's rise to popularity is almost as crazy as its sharp fall into irrelevance.

Honestly odd to me. I mean its expected for any show to become irrelevant when it ends, thats normal. But the way it was hated on i dont get. The ending was exactly what was foreshadowed since the first season, but people were still confused and angry as if it was an illogical story progression.

I actually rewatched the whole thing starting last week and finished it today. All the characters make sense, they did what the always said they would. Maybe that was boring for people.

It's the expedience of it. It also started moving into dumb tropes starting in season 5, only worsening as it continued.
