Haha, yes, similar for me. I'll dive in for a show that interests me with the expectation that it could be cancelled. So given I liked good wife and good fight, I'm watching Elsbeth. The writing is a bit rocky though. I wouldn't be surprised if it's cancelled but I'm still there.
Strange new worlds, I dove in. Picard and discovery, I watched 2 episodes and it didn't grab me so hold off until more seasons. Seems discovery didn't improve but Picard did. I'm not sure if I'll push through.
I have noticed that lots of stuff is being cancelled and lowest common denominator for shows has crept in again. The golden age is well and truly over. What's particularly frustrating is in the absence of ratings weeks, that so many shows end seasons on cliffhangers when theyay be cancelled. They need to start writing for the reality that they may be cancelled. It is fine to have loose threads in the expectation you're renewed but there should be a completion to the story.
