Do you ever start a show knowing it was cancelled? (lemmy.ca)

I recently watched HBO's The Time Travelers Wife full well knowing there was only one season. I think I mostly regret it. I loved the show, and knowing there won't be any more to watch has bummed me out for the past week. I can't remember feeling this way about any other show - it sucks.

It was more like they put it out of its misery

I think I only really got to season two. I remember a bit of Shōgunworld and not much else past season one.

Did it really get that bad?

That would’ve been the logical direction they should’ve pursued story wise. How cool the other world would’ve been to explore!. Unfortunately, they ended up going in a completely different and bonkers direction, and by season three it was very clear. They had absolutely no idea where they were going with it.

I kinda agree but was also enjoying it. Never saw the last season and now I can't on MAX because dickheads.

Honestly I don't even mind it being canceled but I'd love to binge season 1 a few more times.
