If I hate a main character it usually is enough to make me stop watching entirely. Most recent example was The Rookie, where during the racism scene I said, verbatim, "if this guy doesn't die i'm done with this show". He got shot but didn't die and I was done with the show. Sorry Nathan Fillion but your show about the police is bad. But that show had other problems that also annoyed me beyond sergeant shitbag.
The Magicians I stopped watching because of Penny.
Doctor Who is a decent-ish example in that River Song is the worst thing in the universe. Not a main character but close enough and holy crap I got close to just giving up entirely sometimes during that arc.
Westworld i'm going to stop watching because all the main characters are awful. And so is the story. But I guess I did watch all of season 1 and 2 despite the Man in Black being in most of them so it does count for this topic. Nothing about him is interesting or compelling. Dolores also went into this category in season 2.
in Lucifer Lieutenant Pierce was pretty bad most of the time. Then he got a bit better when more was revealed about him. Then he got worse as that got old and he became annoying again. But I got to look at Tom Welling so it all evens out.
Supergirl I stopped watching because it was dumb, but during that time I really really hated Calista Flockheart's character.
South Park I guess also counts because of Cartman but eventually that show just became shit in general so I stopped.
I can't really think of any others. I'm sure there are some. It's pretty easy to annoy me via a performance.
