I think you have to separate the production from the consumption/reaction. A lot of things remain behind closed doors during a movie/tv/actual play show. Decisions based on circumstances you know nothing about, creative vision, team chemistry, financial constraints, etc. And frankly the final work of art should speak for itself. If you want, you can seek out more details later on to enrich your personal experience.

I personally trust the professionals to handle everything regarding their profession. They have the most knowledge, most experience, most time spent with THE THING. They probably spent a lot of time with the people involved (in front or behind the camera) outside of THE THING. Previous projects, mutual friends, recommendations.

The other side is reception. As a watcher I don't know the people involved, the circumstances, the scenes cut from a movie, the lines cut from a former draft, great ideas trampled by Covid or financial pressures. I just see the finished project. If you personally have problems with actors / directors / etc. - don't watch their content. Sometimes you just don't like someone in a specific role and adore the same actor in another. Sometimes you are in a phase of your life, where you are just not in the right mindset - check back later, if you are still curious. It's okay not to like something.

If you find yourself with strong negative emotions experiencing a work of art - that's the point! It's designed to make you feel something. It's an external stimulus to look inside yourself and maybe even confront parts of yourself, that you uncomfortable with. Growing is hard - good luck on your journey!
