▲ 75 ▼ Is there a TV series you regret watching purely because of how long it was, and overall, how unsatisfactory it was when it finished?

It obviously suffered seriously quality decline over its run - but because it was so long, I could've instead watched so many other shows instead.

Most stories would have introduced some Deus ex Machina that would have saved the main characters. They really went for it with "No, we're the problem. We've always been the problem. There's really just one solution." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago Yeah that's unconventional.. But unsatisfying.... And it makes all the other seasons basically a waste of time because they now have never happened permalink fedilink source parent [–] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) It ended? Was watching with my wife and we didn't pick it back up after one of the breaks between, not because of any reason than not making the time. Just remember it ending with something on a farm and they were resetting the timeline and it just wasn't something we picked up when the next season (3 or 4) dropped and it fell off our radar. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) Yep. It had an ending. Consider yourself lucky that you didn't waste the time to watch the final season Here's the ending Tap for spoilerThey realize their existence is a paradox that's causing all these issues so they purposely let themselves get consumed by the big bad thing that can consume things or some shit so after they get consumed they no longer exist and everything seems to be normal in the new universe. Also Lila and Five want to fuck each out which causes obvious drama with Diego and they both spend most of the season in a subway station that goes between universes and they get lost for a long long time. Also.... The baby shark joke was slightly funny only the first time. Claus is an idiot to literally and proverbially gets buried in a cemetery. Luther is flanderized. Allison's powers are retconned and she now had some psychic energy thing and her "rumor" mind control power is MIA without a single damn explanation permalink fedilink source parent [–] 474D@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago Oh man, I had just scrubbed this from my mind... What a shit ending for such a fun show permalink fedilink source parent [–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago That show just spun in circles its entire run. I bailed out after the second episode of the final season. It did have its moments though. The Footloose Dance off scene was so great!. permalink fedilink source parent [–] _hovi_@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Yeah that was painful... permalink fedilink source parent
