Ask Lemmy

I think The Shield ended a season too late. If the seasons 6 and 7 were condensed into one with [spoilers ahead] the fallout of the Kavanaugh investigation and the money train, rather than stretching them across two different season, I think the ending would have a tighter pace and would really feel like the "walls are closing in." Plus the whole cartel subplot of the last season came out of nowhere

Edit: Riverdale too, but that should go without saying

Edit 2: House of Cards should've ended with Kevin Spacey leaving

Edit 3: True Detective

Probably controversial, but the final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation was pretty bad - 2 good episodes (and the finale, though people tend to ignore its flaws because the last scene was so satisfying), but the rest of it was mostly Season-1-level filler.

Arrested Development. The Simpsons. Scandal. Scrubs. Friends.

Casa de Papel. The first season is its own contained story and it was fantastic and ended perfectly. The subsequent seasons were okay, but you could really tell that the writers hadn't expected the show to continue after season 1, and everything kind of felt made up on the spot and not nearly as well constructed. I watched it because I love some of the actors/characters, but when I recommend it to people, I tell them to only watch the first season.

Chuck. It was on air at the same time as Better Off Ted, which was a fantastic show. IIRC, two seasons into Better Off Ted, the network had to choose between the two shows, and they chose to keep Chuck running. We were robbed.

Wish Agents of SHIELD had ended before anyone uttered the name Daisy.
