Attack on Titan, my god. Not even between seasons, literally in the middle of a season and they’re just like ok we’re gonna take a 2 year break now!
At least One Punch Man has the courtesy to put their breaks in between seasons properly.
oh yea that was insane, like 4 seasons over almost 10 years. i compare it to INvincible which also had a huge gap in between seasons. why the fuck is it 4 months between half of season 2, everyone forgot about that. then the animation started to get worst and worst. at this rate invincible might take as long AOT to finish the series(estimated 8-10years). and its only 8 episodes per season, surely they can finish it quickly since its not like its a 20-30 episode arcs. by that time everyone already have read the comics/or watched a live narration of said comics of the invincible series and are probably over it already.
and AOT around the last seasons , the animations were pretty bad too.
Yeah that pretty much ruined the hype for me. By the time the actual finale came out, I was basically just watching it to get it over with. No more excitement or anticipation.
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
Yes. But I’ve forgotten them.
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 😸
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)
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.
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
Under the Dome, there was quite a lot of hype because of the book of the same name by Stepfen King, but the show was not good. I stopped watching in the middle of the first season.
Did you read the book? I vaguely remember both and I feel like when the show veered from the book is when it started to go off the rails.
No, but I heard good things about it. I probably would have if the show was any good.
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.
Oz. It may have been the original “we’ll give you more when we feel like it.” Gave up around the time they blew it up.
Also lost Haven at some point soon after they explained the barn, I think
I also stopped there in Haven, and then I finished watching recently… that was a mistake.
I almost always binge so this can happen with any show. Most notably with Game Of Thrones; I stopped watching after I’d caught up with the last episode that came out in real time, and even lost interest.
Then over a year later I watched the rest and was flabbergasted at myself for losing interest in the first place.

heros dropped off after Sylar decided to become good two shoes, and when the father died.
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.
I’ve been waiting for season 2 of Extracurricular for several years now.
Dark and possibly Black Mirror
