I'm giving you a pass chibot I misread your post.The shows themselves, not necessarily the fans.
House of Cards is a stupid show
I don't think that's necessarily fair. The list is diverse but there are plenty of kinds of shows not represented there. I don't think it's really reasonable to say the issue is with the OP. They're just not for him. It's ok to not like a critically acclaimed show more than once in a while, or ever. Everyone's titled to their own taste in TV, as long as it's not harming anyone.
Past the first and maybe second season do critics even like this show? Season 3 on is pretty much junk, through and through.
I doubt it'll help much, but the murders are actually taking place across multiple states rather than a single town, and seasons 2 & 3 start to move away from the case of the week structure.
House of Cards. I stopped at season 2. Took me two goes to finish the first season. II just don't care.
I know the crimes weren't literally all in one town, I was just being hyperbolic. The issue is that they were focusing on shocking the audience every week with nonsense, as opposed to focusing on the primary story. However, I did really enjoy the story elements that were there, and if you say they move away from the weekly crimes in later seasons, then I definitely wouldn't mind giving it another shot in the future.

People really need to learn the definition of "critically acclaimed".
For me it's Dexter. Sat through a bunch of episodes and actually hated Michael C Hall. I still have people tell me to this day to go back to it.
I laughed at this too. But to be fair, the first couple of seasons were very well liked.Does not compute.

I watched through all of The Wire and I still don't know why people are so obsessed with that show. I found it mediocre as hell, but in all fairness, I'm not really into cop dramas.
NCIS
I am completely baffled how this is "America's #1 show/drama"
Any TV shows the critics seem to love, but you don't like? Here's my list:
the americans
broad city

I don't know man, I bailed on it shortly into season 2 which I think people were still hot on at that point
Dexter takes the cake for me. Such a fucking dreadful show.
For me personally, it takes me getting invested in the the show's "world" before I like it.
Game of Thrones didn't hook me until the second season. It took me 3 tries to like Breaking Bad and now it's one of my favorites. I wasn't really sold on The Leftovers until the second season.
It takes some work but once it kicks in, I'm glad I didn't give up. Currently doing this with The Wire.
Until the end I was just about to say that The Wire would probably be in your wheelhouse. By the end of it I was just sad to no longer be able to see into that "world".

They move away from the week to week murders pretty much near the end of the first season. I'd definitely give it another try.
Other than the first season and John Lithgow's performance in whatever season that was I feel like I heard nothing but jokes regarding that show.
Yeah, people need to stop saying House of Cards. Any critics I follow have never really loved it post season 1.
Same with Walking Dead really.
