What's the worst example of a TV series that should've just been one season, and shouldn't have gone on longer? (piefed.social)

Stranger things. Season 1 was perfect, 2 & 3 were mid except for the nostalgia factor. I’ll die on this hill.

Stranger Things would have been a perfect anthology show too, while still getting to explore the in universe lore.

Stranger Things would’ve worked better if they had changed the characters and “big bad” each season and had Matthew Modine’s evil scientist as the running thread through the series.

I stopped at S2, it was too much of a drop for me.

They could’ve even done the IT thing and had them be older, but now they don’t look right for the roles

I wouldn't even say season 1 was perfect, but yes, at least it had a reason to exist. Season 2 was so offensively and aggressively bad I stopped watching.
