For me, it was The Walking Dead. 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.

Heroes. I should have just stopped at the end of season 1. I mean that was the original intention right? it was just a one off "tv event" thing. Season 1 was good, it was great, it wrapped up nicely....and then NBC wanted more.

I heard how bad season 2 was before watching season 1 so just did the one and done and can absolutely confirm it wrapped up nicely and there is no need for more seasons.

My understanding was that it was supposed to be an anthology with different characters each season which is why the first season finale completed all of the character arcs.

If I remember correctly there was a writers strike that disrupted series 2.

I also seem to remember that they got it back a bit in series 3 but then went rubbish again in 4

Adding to that season 2, which was already struggling, happened during a writers strike so the story just sorta cuts off halfway through.

Minor spoilers for season 2 there is a character that time travels with their love interest to a dystopian future. They travel back to the present but leave their love interest trapped in the future. Other than a brief line of dialogue that character or the dystopian future never come up again.
