Netflix has been killing the TV series games lately, creating top-notch shows like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black and rebooting cult classics like Arrested Development and Wet Hot American Summer, with Degrassi and Full House spinoffs in the works. Between all of these Netflix gems and exciting premieres on television, it’s getting harder and harder to keep up with everything the world of small screen has to offer. It’s also getting easier to drop the shows that have either run their course or weren’t any good to begin with. Here are 5 shows we don’t think deserve a 2016 renewal.

2 Broke Girls

Let’s be honest: the idea of putting together an ex-rich-girl and a sarcastic tomboy and make them work in a diner sounded like a premise for another The Real Life season. Yet somehow the chemistry between Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs was convincing enough to make a dull concept not only watchable but occasionally hilarious. 5 seasons in and… barely anything changed plot-wise. They’re still broke, mostly clueless, can’t make any relationships work, still coming up with new ways to mock their hipster customers and Dennings’ Max still can’t survive a full scene without dropping a V word. And yes, that Oleg guy is still offending everyone with his exhaustingly uninspired sex jokes. The characters don’t even change their clothes or accessories—that must be pretty unsanitary for any eating establishment. The biggest problem with 2 Broke Girls is that its paper-thin plot never got thicker and the show basically holds its two talented leads hostage. Time to finally make Max and Caroline rich and let them succeed with their cupcake business once and for all. Because it looks like this cupcake of a show is starting to go stale.

Scream

Bringing the beloved horror franchise to MTV was never going to work out. Scream was a quintessential '90s movie that wouldn’t properly appeal to the generation of '00s. And the creators of this in-name-only follow-up series didn’t even try to figure out what was so magical about the cult satirical slasher. The series not only shied away from any connections to the movie franchise, but also chose to drop most of the cinema studying that was in the DNA of the original movie. Instead we were given a set of dreadfully shallow characters, monotonous narration, forgettable death scenes and predictable reveal at the end. It didn’t look, feel or scare like Scream did: if anything, it was something that Dawson could come up with in Dawson’s Creek. And even though the series will bring in the new show runners next year, by now it’s pretty obvious that this Scream does not deserve to be heard again. 

Blood & Oil

With Revenge and Dallas all dead and gone, it was only a matter of time before another show about greed, money and vicious families would try to claim its place in the soap opera wonderland. That’s how we got Blood & Oil, a series about a small town in North Dakota where, you guessed it, the recent oil discovery is pumping up everyone’s blood pressure. You know you’re dealing with a truly bad show when the characters are having long flashbacks in the middle of a car crash and then survive said crash with just a tiny scratch. For a show about desperately ambitious people it suffers from a serious lack of ambition when it comes to basically everything: from the stereotypical characters (a naïve young couple, a manipulative oil tycoon, his bitchy wife, his reckless son, etc) to the lines like "You don’t deserve to be my son." Luckily ABC seemed to have already realized that the series doesn’t deserve a long life—the original order for 13 episodes was reduced to 10 and it’s pretty unlikely it will be back next fall.

Scream Queens

Ryan Murphy is an overtly busy man and it was only a matter of time before his ever-expanding schedule would take its toll on the quality of his offerings. Scream Queens was never going to be a masterpiece, but it looked like a fun little horror comedy. Did anyone expect it to turn into a tedious humorless and aimless affair that suffered from bad taste, worse acting and the worst attempt at building suspense in a recent horror-themed series? It made all of the Scary Movie sequels look like masterpieces and never made clear what the purpose of the whole show was. Was it to mock the horror genre? Or to make fun of the entitled sorority girls? Or to drown us in the sea of random gags about whatever the writers were thinking that day? Whatever the cause, the show failed on every level and became painfully unwatchable somewhere around episode three. It has already won the crown of the queen of bad television, so we really don’t need any follow-ups, thank you very much.

The Big Bang Theory

Just say it out loud: Four geeks and a blonde girl. Is it really that funny? Well, it can be and it was in the beginning of The Big Bang Theory, but by its ninth season the series reminds us of a tired zombie from any of the much more appealing television shows. By now every character is either romantically involved with somebody or trying to get over a break up, so all the plotlines revolve around love, cheating, trying to win someone back and the rest of the fluffy sitcom romantics. Have you ever eavesdropped on the biggest nerd in class going on and on about his personal life? That’s how we feel when watching The Big Bang Theory. It’s uneasy to say the least. Here’s a theory: This show needs to go out with bang and go out quick.
