The problem isn't shows that don't end, but ones that keep dragging out the 1-2 season plot line because it was popular (lost, stranger things, etc). I'm fine

I'm fine with a plot that is progressing and things are being answered (the expanse, b5, etc) or just a plain old serial like the original star trek or the simsons where each episode stands on its own. But these shows where the plot just never quite gets resolved because yet another thing happens to snatch it away at the last moment quickly become tiring. Or like stranger things the whole things is nice and complete with all the lose ends tied, and then oh, lets do season 2 because its our best show and we want the money. This BTW seems to have been most movies since ~2000s where everything is a sequel, prequel or comic universe movie. Its like hollywood has forgotten how to buy book rights that aren't themselves giant economic works already (harry potter anyone?).
- thehappypm 4y agoStranger Things is the worst for this. The most recent season was terrific but it didn’t even come close to finishing its story! Super frustrating to watch a “finale” and be left feeling like you’re halfway through a movie
- stuckinhell 4y agoI agree. Stranger Things as a 1 season miniseries would have been the stuff of legends.
