I also quit The Walking Dead when Carl died. I didn't like Carl either, but I was like really? Totally jumped the shark moment.

I quit Game of Thrones when they had that guy that would sleep with his daughters and sacrifice the babies in the forest. I think that's how Sam met that girl. Worst part was when they (not sure who) ransack the house and killed and raped all the daughters. It was disgusting and at that point I knew what people meant when they said the writers got sick pleasure out of sexual pain for women.

THAT'S THE EXACT POINT WHERE I GAVE UP ON GOT TOO!!

Like, I can tell you the exact moment. There's a full frontal shot of a woman getting raped in that shack and I was like alright, that's enough for me. You can't tell me there was any single narrative purpose to that shot being in there. It was solely for the degradation of women and I was like NOPE.

Ugh that GOT scene is burned into my brain it was so fucking brutal and stupid.

I quit the GOT after S4 for the same reason as stated in the post. They were really killing all the good ones and it just became a torture porn by then. I'm glad I stopped watching when I did, because seeing people's reactions to the final season 👀

i never watched s4 of GOT and that's exactly why... i watched the two last seasons and they had thankfully toned down with the sexual violence (what a low bar) and it was just bad in every other way, lol.
