Movies and TV Shows

Did Heroes eventually have a proper ending, or did you also abruptly stop watching as it continued to drag on?

Heroes suffered from lostism. It was a great show until they completely explained it. We love making wild guesses and hate it when the truth is less exciting than what we were thinking it might be.

I ferl you on The Expanse but I don't think anyone would have liked it if they'd adapted the last 2 books.

Because of the time jump everyone's middle aged and interested in meetings and things, Amos isn't himself, and people that fans of the show were wondering about (eg Naomi's son Filip) are just not in it, neither is Avasarala.

Show needed a season 4. Just not that one.

Unpopular (somehow) opinion incoming. I watched The Office because people talked about it so much and I loved Parks and Rec which I often heard it compared to. And while I found it nowhere near as good as Parks and Rec, I still enjoyed most of it. My least favorite part of the show, however, was Michael Scott. I love Steve Carell in almost everything I've seen him in, but Michael Scott was just such an annoying cringy asshole. I was super glad when he left. He's easily one of my most disliked characters in all of media.

I was going to say the exact same thing. The wedding was the perfect ending and Michael leaving would have been the last chance of closing the book. The influx of new characters made the show so chaotic and story lines were boring as hell. Nellie was hands down the absolute worst character in any TV show I have ever seen.

Fyi no h in 'wacky' unless he's beating people :)

After Gina leaves it gets a lot more serious. In the final season Rosa has left the force and become a PI over the George Floyd incident. Jake undergoes an arc about internalizing the fact that this doesn't mean Rosa hates him or thinks he's a bad person.

I am still mad that SGU didn't even get a sign-off movie on SyFy. That franchise was a massive property for that network, and the moment one of them faltered in the ratings they just dropped it like it was diseased. Those characters deserved better.

Altered Carbon season 1 was absolutely amazing. Everything from the cyberpunk aesthetic to Joel Kinnaman's acting was a joy to behold. The story in season 2 was good but Anthony Mackie killed it for me ... In a bad way.

Mackie is just such a limited actor. Why does he continue to get cast in movies?

This is a great list except for Futurama and formatting issues.

Post-movies Futurama quality improved. I'd say it's on par with the first 2 seasons but not as good as 3-5. The bad episodes can still be funny and the good episodes are absolutely worth it.

New Futurama is just as good as old Futurama. Fight me.

Arrested Developments Netflix seasons, though different from the original run in format, I found them enjoyable and worth rewatching.

Game of Throne's last half sucked but not because it went on too long, quite the opposite. The producers tried to rush the series to a quick finish so they could go do a Star Wars. HBO offered them extra seasons, they had plenty of source material they downright ignored or went against. The series was best when it was verbatim from the books. In the hands of someone who cared it could have been twice as long and quality all the way through. Obviously I'll die on this hill.

Couldn't agree more on the rest of your list. Westworld would have been a tight one season limited series.

Arrested Development should be in both the too soon and too long lists.

G.L.O.W got cut early too.

My most recent gripe is half bad on Netflix.

Netflix the notorious unfinisher, was it only truly a quarter bad by its end?
