Line 171:
* ''[[Vidas Robadas]]'', an extremely dense Argentinian [[Telenovela]] about human trafficking, whose heroine is a woman that was kidnapped and forced into prostitution. And also was pittied in the Argentinian equivalent of the [[Friday Night Death Slot]]. It got a cult fanbase and the status of [[Acclaimed Flop]] after earning several prizes.
* ''[[Victorious]]'' got hit with this from multiple angles. An edgy [[Kid Com]] about an aspiring pop star didn't really appeal to its target audience of older kids. The humor was overly reliant on adult humor, innuendos, mean-spirited moments, [[Squick|foot fetish]] jokes, and sexually suggestive scenes. A good example of how sexualized this show is: one episode features a scene where [[Genki Girl|Tori]] performs a sexy song and dance number... which wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact that she took on [[Ms. Fanservice|a very attractive appearance]], complete with her wearing a very revealing dress that shows off much of her modesty, especially the legs. And unlike any of [[Dan Schneider]]'s other shows, the characters in this show would occasionally shout at their lines, which got very annoying. Putting these facts together, it didn't really do well with critics or fans, and it ended up getting cancelled after three seasons.
* ''The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power'' failed to garner any interest with either mainstream audiences who, after getting past the admittedly impressive visual and artistic presentation of the costumes and set-pieces, noted how very little substance it had to its story, characters or setting, or the dedicated Tolkien fanbase, who were off-put by the showrunners' underutilization of the bevy of Tolkien's work they could have deferred to, and their disdain for the source material as evidenced by their dismissal of Tom Shippey, a scholar for Tolkien's works who was initially brought on as an advisor, only to be ignored as the writers reportedly disagreed with all of his input, his involvement being no more than a gesture of publicity to lend their production more legitimacy. Both viewer groups likewise dislike the cast for being hypersensitive and responding to any negative reaction to the production (be it angry tirades or legitimate criticism) as slights against them specifically.
