Too many shows and book series go on for too long. Rather than end at an ideal spot to maximize the art/story of it all, they keep going until the creators get bored or the money isn't flowing anymore.

Yup. Better to leave the audience wanting more vs having them grow sick of it. While frustrating, some of my favourite shows were short and sweet due to being cancelled/discontinued. Deadwood and Andor come to mind vs The Walking Dead.

For sure, like the Netflix version of House of Cards. The British version was a well written three seasons and done. Much better.

Agree, the walking dead was the number one culprit of this I think Game of Thrones did a great job avoiding this

Gravity Falls nailed this. 2 seasons all planned from the beginning and done.

I regularly stop watching a 7 or 8 season show after 2 or 3 seasons. No guilt, got the best from them, don’t owe any more of my time to diminishing returns. It’s very liberating.

We quit starting shows until we knew that they ended well. Also, we barely watch anything now.

I've been making income from the comfort of my home with the help of an expert analyst since Trump endorsed crypto in America, so I decided to give a try out and to my surprise I made over $30k in 2weeks from my little investment, very reasonable amount I can't even get from my current job. if you'd...

Evangelion was perfect with its original 26 episodes. They should've stopped there. Same with The Matrix. But no, they have to milk it.

After more than four episodes you are telling a new story

“It’s always better to leave the party early. If I had rolled along with the strip’s popularity and repeated myself for another five, 10, or 20 years, the people now ‘grieving’ for ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ would be wishing me dead and cursing newspapers for running tedious, ancient strips l...

Worse than that is when they try to "revive" the show/movie. They end it good and after years they're like "oh let's bring that back up, ppl loved it". Shows they are out of creative ideas and just want to make a quick buck, basically undermining a great idea. Dexter, Prison Break and Matrix comes ...

Walking dead was the perfect example of this. It started amazing in that every episode of every season their predicament got worse. It would’ve been epic to have the zombies kill everyone - nobody ends on a downer like that. But no, they turned it into a never ending saga that made me stop watchin...

The wire was a great counter example. Ended the way it should

Yes, Matrix.

I only ever watch the first season of a 'continuity driven' TV show for this very reason. A lesson learnt after thinking the first season of '24' was the best TV show I'd ever seen, and yet season 2 episode 1 was just an insultingly lazy setup. (After all the twists and cliffhangers of the first s...

Yes, Ideal spot. My wife and I watch Suits, Friends (wonderful 90s vibe!!!), Two and a Half Men, King of Queens, Mad Men in an endless loop. We had some of them already on DVD. We love Steve Martin in "Bowfinger" and stuff like that. I get a lot of old classic movies torrented from thepratebay. Love...
