Breaking Bad. I watched S01 when it came out but then totally forgot about it after that. Didn’t finish it until S05 was out.
ITT people who only read the part of the title before the commaThis post actually reminded me that I still have to watch Russian Doll season 2, which i completely forgot about because it came out 3 years after season 1.
Firefly - the new season is taking FOREVER man!
Hellsing Ultimate had year long gaps between each episode, exacerbated by the tsunami + Fukushima incident. That said, it was so damn good that whenever a new episode came out, even if I was out of it I would rewarch the whole shebang.
i forgot writers strike twice had ruined alot of good shows.
IASIP, after 10-12, the show went on for too long, and the actors clearly are getting too old and tired, but they are addicted to the money, and hollywood lifestyle. SPN, after season 8, most fans are wtf is even going after that, eventhough 11 had a good run because it something different. every season after 8 was fanfiction/slashfiction. eventhough they dint go on hiatuses, the show went on for too long for its own good, just because the fans would have a parsocial panic attack if they ended it early on.
and allegedly the actors in isaip did 2 year per season stints, and it worked for a while, but since its such a long length of time between seasons, they aged so much after reaching into thier 40s, they had to use botox and plastic surgery to catch up with appearances, it was so cringey. and rob was famous for going on PEDs to get jacked(which he tried to downplay)
i still love isaip
I couldn’t finish house MD. I say this as someone who prides themselves on watching the longest series all the way through. That final season became too much, they ran out of ideas and were pulling at grass.
yea people said the final seasons were lackluster, the scene lighting seemed to be darker than normal.
watching it with my partner currently due to memes of ‘medicine drug’. at season 3 and holy shit its already crashing out pretty hard.
I quite liked season 3 and 4 actually, it was a strong choice to do the whole cast replacement, but they make it work alright for the most part.
I feel like Stranger Things is headed for this (for me at least). It’s been so long since S4 and the hype around it, it feels increasingly difficult to get that excited about S5. The longer it takes, the more I forget about ST.
I love that show but it’s been so long I barely remember the last season
I almost never watch the second season of any shows, the gap just kills my interest. When I do, it usually are finished shows.
especially if its only 8 episodes, which is very short, and not very entertaining even if the series is good.
Nearly every show cause I have ADHD.
Mare do you hang out in !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com there’s many amusing memes about us neuros there. And fyi !autism@lemmy.world is for all of us not just autism
This is why I have a meticulously curated list of shows I’ve watched and the episode I am currently at in Obsidian with dataviews and all 😀
The next season of Sherlock on Masterpiece Mystery will be coming any
day yeardecade nowLost and Game of Thrones.
Who in their right mind can watch every episode for almost a decade to keep up?
The context here is time between seasons. I don’t think Lost and GOT had big gaps between seasons.
Okay, so all of them, I guess. 3 months every season over 8 years is still two years of break that kills the series.
That…is not how most people view breaks. Especially if you’re into sports, which a pretty large chunk of the world is (just a hunch, but I’m guessing you’re not).
firefly. didn’t continue after finishing the first season and the movie.
I’m not sure if this is a joke but that’s all there was of that show, no?
Whoosh :-p
No, after Serenity, there was a second season released in 2014.
No, there wasn’t.
Are you outside the US?
I had to double check because I’d totally watch a second season but Firefly only got one 14 episode season. When it aired in the US though, they only aired 11 episodes and they aired out of original intended order. Maybe you’re somewhere they split the release of season one in two parts?
Damn near everything since streaming exploded over traditional television. Used to only have to wait through summer before a show’s next season. Now it can be several years between seasons. Walking Dead was one of the first ones that did this to me… I watched to season 4 or 5 and totally thought that was it; fucker only ended in 2022 and had 11 total seasons.
Pretty much all modern TV series nowadays. You can’t make a proper TV series when your actors/actresses and the rest of the crew have such long breaks. At a certain point, you just end up losing critical actors or writers or other members of staff.
The Expanse just kept going until the end, and SyFylis cancelled then, and then when Amazon cancelled them for good. Five and a half seasons in seven years, and that’s even with the cancellations and COVID.
expanse had some problems, i think one of the actors was ejected due to being a creep of woman. and then the books take place in the future, so it dint make sense to make a series so soon in post season 6, i heard.
i cringe at the 8episode per season arcs, its the studios execs trying to save money because they spent too much on a-listers, theres no harm in using other actors that arnt super famous, rare exception is STD the (nobody actors were just not that good for the show)
It was only 6 episodes for the last season. I truly believe that they were trying to save as much money as possible for their LotR series, which is a shame because that series didn’t fair so well, especially with the billion or so dollars they spent on it.
oh right ROP, cost like 2billion per season. i reasoned why invincible went down in quality as well, the money got sucked up by LOTR. its good thing they are not trying to reboot STARGATE Though, because the showrunner actually said its not a good idea to do so.
Setting up https://wiki.servarr.com/ helps with the latter since it’ll just turn up in Jellyfin one day when a new season miraculously appears, huzzah! 🎉 Also is great when you suddenyy get movies you have no idea what they are about years after adding them 😸
