I can understand people's frustration to see a beloved character meet their untimely demise. However, as much as it might suck, I appreciate it when that happens. It can created a realistic story where even an important character can be killed-off. To answer your questions, no, I've never wanted to drop a show or story for it, but I have had my disagreements with some choices made which is natural.

First off, the author should be praised for creating such lovable characters that can cause people to get riled up. There's nothing worse than seeing a character like "Billy" die horribly and the audience just yawns waiting for the scene to just be over already. It can be ballsy move to kill-off likeable characters but to me it shatters the pretense that certain characters are bound to survive because of their role.

With that said, killing off characters "just because" after a huge investment has to be handled with care. Just doing so for the hell of it can come off as lazy and be seen as cheap tactic if there isn't a proper justification or pay-off.
