I'm able to do that in terms of genre -- it really doesn't matter to me the genre so long as I find something grabs me about the storytelling or the characters. But I'm never able not to see the writing problems with something. It matters most to me when something smacks of laziness -- that the writers don't have any respect for their characters or the audience but want us to handwave obvious problems and jerk the characters around on strings to make them do what the plot requires.

I also have the reverse problem though, which is stories or shows that I wish I could like more, but they just don't engage me.
