dreck

Utter low-quality garbage

Dreck is worthless trash or rubbish, especially in reference to artistic or commercial products of low quality.

From Yiddish, it literally means excrement but usually serves as a dismissive judgment: The studio keeps churning out dreck.

Most of what passes for television drama is pure dreck.
