14. I may give OITNB another try.

I started watching it once, didn't like it, so stopped it even before the episode was over and never went back. It was an episode all about tampons or something. I found it offensive, stupid, and not funny. I'm no prude by a long shot, but it went on and on and on about tampons for some reason. They were at the lunch table, in the shower, etc. Seemed to be just an episode written specifically to be "different," but it wasn't funny.

Maybe I'll give it another try.
