"After Poussey died the plot went downhill but I had become so invested in some of the characters that I needed to see the end. They did Blanca and Pennsatucky so damn dirty."

"I started it when quarantine began and it really went off the rails during the prison riot. I’m just finishing it because I’ve already invested too much time. What’s fifteen more hours of my life these days?"

"It was a show that I was addicted to when it first came out because of all the pretty people and I grew up during the vampire craze but as I grew up I stopped watching it. Earlier this year I saw it was all on Netflix and decided to torture myself and by-proxy my husband by watching! After season three there were some things the characters said or did that literally made us groan from cringe but I kept on watching it because I thought it couldn't get more ridiculous but boy, it continued to surprise me right to the end!"

"It’s been on since I was twelve so I feel like I have an obligation to see it through, but I only enjoy about one episode a season."

"All the doctors are so unprofessional, having sex here, there and everywhere; running the hospital single-handedly, you don’t see a single personal assistant or administrator. Who puts the patient details in the system for you Meredith?

But my god, I am invested in the highly unprofessional relationships."

"I hate it. Most of the original cast members are gone, it's just bad romance and worse storylines, and terrible character development. But by God if it doesn't hook you in."

"I keep watching each season because I keep saying, 'I’ve made it this far, I need to see it through.' But every season since Christina left has just made me madder and madder with what is happening and I wish every season that it will be the last."

"I used to LOVE this show. Now, I just watch it because I've invested too much time into it. I hope it ends soon."

"It’s definitely not the romantic series they think it is – it’s just a whirlpool of drama and I get sucked in every time."

"Every single episode I say something along the lines of 'I hate that I like this.' But it’s so unbelievably stupid and ridiculous that it becomes the funniest thing ever. My mom and my sisters and I all laugh our heads off every time."

"It’s mind numbing. I complain about them the whole time but still they suck me in and I can’t stop watching. It’s honestly like watching a car wreck, I can’t look away."

"The first two seasons were actually really good. The people were still real because they weren’t famous enough to be faking stuff. Season two had one of the most entertaining and dramatic arcs ever – it was brilliantly executed for a reality show. After season four it really started to lose the charm it had, and now I just watch because i can’t seem to let them go, even though it’s mind numbing."
