The most disappointing shows of 2024

• It’s been a big year for streaming, with Netflix reporting $2.3 billion in net income in Q3.
• Some shows, like “Baby Reindeer,” lived up to the hype.
• But others, like “The Perfect Couple,” did not.

Netflix reported in September that people watched over 94 billion hours of content on the streaming giant from January to June this year.

All those hours of engagement have prompted big returns, as the company’s Q3 earnings totaled $2.3 billion in net income and internal projections estimate that Netflix will finish the year with $8.7 billion in profit.

But while Netflix, the other streamers — like Hulu, Peacock, Disney Plus, Max, Apple TV+, etc. — and traditional broadcast channels have attracted plenty of eyeballs throughout the year, not every show has been worth our time.

Before you catch up on shows this holiday season, here are eight we think you’re going to want to remove from your watch list.
