Do you quit a book/movie/tv series halfway if you don't like it?

Or do you soldier through and finish it?

I've read a lot of Neil Gaiman so I thought i would try Neverwhere. I'm having trouble getting into it and I'm not the type to soldier on.

Do you finish everything you start or have you given up? Try to warn people about spoilers if you're going to give any stories up.

I quit watching Orange Is the New Black, Breaking Bad and Weeds when graphic violence became the main focus of their series.
They all started out good, interesting and thought provoking but ultimately broke down to a mean storyline centered on pain, suffering and violence.
Typical of writers who lose focus and resort to sensationalism and shock value to carry the story

@Onestarlitnight I felt this same roller-coaster with Joe Abercrombie books. His first two books were gripping and (somewhat) tame. It didn't take him long to go all "Game of Thrones" with gratuitous violence, sex, and taboo.
