What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you?

Wheel of Time.
- Seconded. It was just such an enormous pile of shit from the first episode.
  Edit: felt like it was worth mentioning that I've read all the books multiple times, and love them. I just hate what they did to the characters.
  
  Third.
- Latest season has been a massive improvement if you haven’t watched it.
  
  Maybe in the future.
  I'm kind of burned out in high fantasy TV for a while. Thanks for the info, though.
  
  Try something completely different.
  "Slow Horses" is about MI-5's worst agents. Those who have screwed up in the field are sent to work on low priority garbage work until they retire or quit. Takes about one and a half episodes to hit its stride.
  "Landman" is about a Texas oilman whose job is to manage everything from the drilling to getting the product to market. Billy Bob Thornton is a great anti-hero; divorced, alcoholic, in debt, and smarter than everyone else for all the good it does him.
  
  Slow horses is great.
  
  Thanks for the suggestions.
