TV Shows That Were Too Disturbing To Finish

Sometimes, we just can’t bring ourselves to finish a TV series. We might tune out of a comedy because we just don’t find it funny, or give up on a drama because we don’t care about the characters. But sometimes, we have to abandon a show because it’s just too disturbing.

There’s nothing more disturbing than good old-fashioned human cannibalism. Who knows what we’d succumb to if we had no other choice, trapped without food, like the plane crash survivors in the movie Alive? But Hannibal the cannibal? Yeah, he eats people because he likes it. Also, he’s a psychopath.

NBC’s Hannibal aired for three seasons and was so bloody and disturbing that one newspaper op-ed led to its disappearance from one of the network’s Utah affiliates.

So yeah, if you had to give up on this one in order to save your soul or your stomach we understand.

Sadly, HBO’s limited series Sharp Objects, based on the novel of the same name by Gone Girl scribe Gillian Flynn, isn’t likely coming back for a second season. But even if you couldn’t make it through the first because of how discomforting it was, you’d definitely be totally forgiven. Keep watching the video to see the TV shows that were too disturbing to finish!
