What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't? (lemm.ee)

Farscape.

I had a roommate that loved the show and some of the later season stuff seemed really interesting when I caught it by chance, but I just couldn't get into it every time I tried to sit through the first season. I think it's a lost cause now with how much sci-fi TV has evolved.

The funny thing is Claudia Black's character was my favorite part of Stargate SG-1, and I also liked Ben Browder on it too. At least I saw enough of Farscape to catch the little wink-and-nod there.

There used to be a fan edit version of Farscape edited down to a few key minutes per episode, and it was surprisingly good.

(And surprising how many minutes of each episode could be cut without any meaningful loss...)
