Which popular TV series did you give up on this year and why? From "Power" to "Empire," here are 10 TV series Pulse staff quit watching.

In 2017, there has been quite a number of new and old shows.

While some of these shows - for Pulse Nigeria staff -returned for a new season with the momentum they are known for, others went off the rails and became hard(er) to watch.

We asked Pulse staff which TV shows they quit watching this year, and while some are devout enough to complete whatever they start, others had a long list to share.

Check out 10 TV shows we finally stopped watching this year;

1. "The Walking Dead"

Pulse Staff: The Walking Dead used to be an edgy thriller. It left you at the edge of your seats and your heart in your mouth.

It was both shocking and suspenseful. The last two seasons have failed to do all these- it now feels like a drama with zombies just walking around.

2. "Empire"

Pulse Staff: I suddenly realized that Lucious and his family aren't for me. The characters became too flat and not relatable. They are not complex or layered characters: too paper thin.

3. "Power"

Pulse Staff - The plot was going nowhere. It relied too much on sex and violence instead of tension, shock, drama and suspense.

The annoying "Kanan isn't dead" twist was the first step towards taking away my interest in the show.

4. "American Gods"

Pulse Staff: I watched the first episode with a pre-bias against it when people were comparing it to Game of thrones (felt insulted by that). But after watching the first episode, I didn't push to watch the next episode.

I honestly didn't want to miss out on a 'cultural movement,' but, the show was trying too hard to be complex and I just couldn't keep up.

5. "Scandal"

Pulse Staff: For seasons, "Scandal" was the perfect dramatic and soapy show. But after four seasons, it morphed from a political thriller to hogwash. I should have given up then, but I was trying to be a devout fan.

I gave up before the end of season six after I realized that Shonda was still repeating the same plot - Olivia and Fitz trying to kill Eli and the already exhausted Olitz romance.

6. "Suits"

Pulse Staff: It feels like it has lost the charm of its earlier seasons, and the characters are a little more unimpressive now. Feels like a chore to watch.

7. "Big Bang Theory"

Pulse Staff: "The Big Bang Theory" started feeling monotonous like they kept circling around the same joke setups. The jokes are still really funny, but the delivery has suffered from 10 seasons of overuse.

8. "Tinsel"

Pulse Staff: It became difficult to catch up on. I sort of can’t believe people still watch this anyway.

9. "How to Get Away with Murder"

Pulse Staff: I stopped watching How to get away with murder majorly because Wess Gibbons died and also I couldn't comprehend the whole nonsense intrigues.

10. "Supernatural"

Pulse Staff: Already feels like it should have been over a few seasons ago, they keep going around the same subject you've already seen everything there is to see.
