The same reason I can’t just enjoy 10 chapters of a book. If a book only has 10 chapters, that’s great. But if the printer just decided that’s all the chapters they were willing to pay for and the story has no ending, that is completely unsatisfying. I love mini-series/limited series because I know the story is going to have a conclusion. I have no interest in investing in something new that will likely be axed with no ending when there is plenty of great content out there that I know does have a complete story, however long that happens to be.
