I chose to look at today's prompt as a show that I used to watch/have watched and now can't stand to anymore. That's where Law & Order SVU falls for me. Over the last year or two I've become a fan of procedural dramas and as a result have seen so many. The Law & Order franchise has been around for so long that I've watched it every now and then over the years, but while I enjoy the entertainment values of the shows some of the ways they get their criminals and the methods they use to do it (like tricking suspects into giving their DNA/fingerprints by having them touch something and taking the object for testing) rub me the wrong way. SVU is the most often violator of this fact. Whether it be them being too aggressive during interrogation/arresting or manipulating suspects and trying to punish to the full extent of the law to even those that clearly have psychological or mental defects. It makes a person dislike and even distrust the authorities portrayed on the show and that's a bummer.
