Is there a TV series you regret watching purely because of how long it was, and overall, how unsatisfactory it was when it finished? (piefed.social)

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.

Rings of power is shit, but it's also explicitly not based on the Silmarillion. It's only using the appendices of the trilogy.

    I thought it was supposed to be partially based on the The Silmarillion. Either way, from the first episode alone, it was pretty clear that the show would be shit.

    I believe that was the goal, but there was a rights dispute and they didn't get access to it.

    Hopefully someone else will get the rights to it and either make a more respectful adaption or go with a crazy creative take. E.g. a re-interpretation of The Silmarillion set in prohibition era US with gangsters or during the Russian revolution with the Greens fighting both commies "orcs" and the pro-Monarchy "goblins" (doesn't have to be literal).
