The only series I've outright QUIT watching were ones that pissed me off by ****ing up their story, like Heroes and Dexter.
Call me crazy but, although I'm glad they dropped the cringey romance subplot between Deb and Dexter with season 7, I think if they actually went with it and made it a one-sided thing about Dexter having unintentionally emotionally manipulated her over their entire lives into a sick, co-dependent obsession with him to mirror his for her then it would have been pretty interesting, and provided a much more non-****ty subplot for season 8 than that goofy return of what's her name (and no I'm not saying they should have gotten together cause that would be as stupid as it would be weird). Not that they'd in any real way built up to that with the previous seasons, but at least they could have done something more than what they did (even if season 7 was amazing anyway).
