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?

Oh, I disagree about House. I wish that was still going. He was my favorite asshole.

The X-Files. The direction they took after Robert Patrick joined just did not work and felt like a spinoff more than part of the main series.

Futurama should not have been rebooted.

I tried watching the new Hulu release. It's extremely forced and cringy.

For me, Lost.

Writers introduced way too many mysteries that they didn't resolve. ABC should have given them less episodes so they were forced to tie up loose ends faster.

I love Bones to death, but they really should have stopped it earlier.

Supernatural seasons 2-7 are pretty great, but it just tanks during season 8 IIRC.

Roughly 95% of all shows.

American Gods. I mean, still better would have been to just do it as good as the first season

Dexter. Just leave it at the end of season 6, on the giant 'what the fuck' moment. Leave it there with all the potential and possibilities and open questions for people to wonder about.

It was almost impressive how they managed to fuck up the ending that badly, revive it for a mini-series, get this close to turning it around and then fuck the ending again lol.

Orphan black - first season was amazing, it was an amazing concept. It was pretty clear the writers didn't know wtf to do once they got a season 2+ and they choked imho
