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?

I was gonna binge this show after it ended but I can't bring myself to watch a show that I know has a shit ending, so it will forever be one of those shows I missed

If you're okay with the head canon, just stop watching when the wall falls. White walkers won, humanity has ended. GG.

that's 3 seasons into terrible shit.

stop after season 4 first 4 are genuinely some of the best television ever made

season 5 already has serious fucking cracks in it and season 6 and 7 are carried by one big episode.

It was so good early on though. IMO you would do better to just watch the first 5 or 6 seasons and make up an ending in your head vs not watching at all. Or read a brief synopsis of the last couple seasons just to know where the characters ended up.

But then you might feel the call of the void, and want to watch the last couple seasons as a sort of "bad movie night” on steroids. On one hand, you will fully understand the magnitude of the fuckup, but on the other, you will taint your fond memories of the early seasons. The choice is yours.

I personally think of it as "seasons 1-5 happened, then there was a huge, mysterious time jump, and the last 2 episodes of season 8 happened".

I can see the ending happening, it's just... Dum&Dumber couldn't figure out how to get there, and GRRM was too rich and lazy to do what he was supposed to do to get them there.

It was awesome. Definitely worth the watch for anyone that can get over the ending. Maybe if you know it’s bad going into it you won’t be as disappointed 😂
