Which things have you avoided or embraced on the name alone? (lemm.ee)

Is it shallow, or petty, to decide based on name alone? Yeah, pretty much, but there's probably something, a product or service or site, that the name has made you gloss right over it or jump to it ASAP.

What are some examples that spring to mind for you?

It ended up in my top of all time :) Next to The Wire and Breaking Bad.

It ENDED in your top of all time?

Well done for not letting the end ruin the beginning, I'll rewatch it every so often but my god it leaves a sour taste these days. The last season is enough to undo all the good work they'd done to that point, it's such a shame :(

The ending is not great, but it definitely was an ending. Some shows can't even manage that. And to me it hasn't spoilt all the previous seasons - those were solid.

Yeah I still rewatch and enjoy the heck out of it, but then the choice is either an incomplete story or a godawful ending with characters that barely resemble the ones I enjoyed initially.

I don't hate the show as a whole but it doesn't get near my top 10, yet it could've been my number 1 of all time if they turned the last 2 seasons into 4 or 5 with the same quality as the first 4 or 5.

I honestly don't even hate the final picture, it's just the complete lack of justification to get us there I can't stand, and the embarrassing endings of some characters who deserved more (or should have died sooner).
