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 comma~~
This 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.
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.
Firefly - the new season is taking FOREVER man!
The next season of Sherlock on Masterpiece Mystery will be coming any ~~day year~~ decade now
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 have it all here but still never finished Breaking Bad. I even liked it, I just never continued it, no idea why.
its good, even as an excuse to watch Saul
I know it's good. I still never finished it.
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.
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
Lost 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).
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.
Dark and possibly Black Mirror
