This seems like the easier way than to make a thread about each of the things that bothered me about the show. Please feel free to add to the list!
(List contains a tagged spoiler for Thor Ragnarok. Read at your own risk!)
1. An entire eight episode season has not once managed to make me care about the "heroes". Despite being kind of a whiny jerk at times, Maximus remained the only one in the cast I actually gave a damn about.
2. No-one except Medusa being able to understand Black Bolt's sign language and the laughable "revelation" that Maximus actually did learn it years ago. Wow, you'd really think that at least his own family would want to be able to understand what the guy was saying, right? What about his parents? The genetic council? This was so stupid!
3. Not only does Maximus share a lot of similarities with Loki, but
4. Maximus losing his sh*t, because Medusa took the terrigen crystals and destroyed the one she was offering to give him. Did nobody tell the guy he could simply go to Earth and buy a box of fish oil capsules to get the same effect?
5. Dr. Declan not knowing about terrigenesis. The guy has apparently been studying inhumans for quite a while now, and it's not like they're a rare occurrence on Earth any longer, so why does he still have no clue about how they get their powers? (Not talking about the crystals, but the general effect.)
6. Crystal's spray-paint hair. A better make-up artist should have been able to give that a more natural look.
7. Sh*tty, boring and/or unlikable characters in general. Everyone falls into this category for a different amount of times/episodes, but Karnak wins the race without a doubt! Horrible guy!
8. Super simplistic plot that might have been copied right from the initial movie script, made much worse by being dragged out at a snail's pace over eight episodes.
9. Louise and her superior only referring to their employer as "the boss" in an extremely forced manner to provide some sort of mystery here. (Probably will be touched on in AoS, would be my guess. Maybe it's Coulson? Fury? S.W.O.R.D.? A.I.M.?)
10. Lame interior design of Attilan. Also, those white-hooded people sitting around the control room. What was their purpose? What are they doing there??
11. Terrible financial planning: IMAX release and Hawaiian setting on the one hand, crappy sets, not enough money for proper CGI (Medusa's hair,...) on the other. Which is it Marvel? Did you guys want to make this show or not??
12. That "Do you remember our first meeting" scene between Medusa and Black Bolt in the finale with the images from the flackback lain over the entire dialogue. This scene felt like something a film school student would do in their first year, but not a professional Hollywood production!

3. Not only does Maximus share a lot of similarities with Loki, but
the final episode pretty much stole the entire ending of Thor Ragnarok, with Attilan being destroyed and the royal family and their subjects seeking refuge on earth.
Really creative, guys!4. Maximus losing his sh*t, because Medusa took the terrigen crystals and destroyed the one she was offering to give him. Did nobody tell the guy he could simply go to Earth and buy a box of fish oil capsules to get the same effect?

I'll be spending next weekend with some family I like and trying to avoid any remotely controversial conversations with others that I spend the rest of the year avoiding
