What's a show that should've gotten cancelled or ended SOONER than it did? (lemmy.world)

Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?

Once Upon a Time. They felt like they had to just introduce a new Disney character at every turn and that they all had to be somehow related to one of the other characters. They also had a chance to tie things off by having Regina fall in love but nope, had to drop an A-Bomb on that possibility. Can't have a happy Evil Queen can we?

This was my first thought, and I genuinely didn’t expect to see it mentioned. Wow. Hi.

Season 1 is top notch. It is consistently worse from there. Am I mad the show went on? No. Still, if the show had ended when the curse was broken, it would’ve been all time storytelling IMO. The magic effects and writing were so cheesy after season 1… It all seemed so well made at first.

Kind of burned out on the show in season 3 to be honest when they threw away all the character growth, felt like no point watching any more. I read ahead to see what they do later on and it just got worse
