It's a Canadian show and I have no idea how it lasted for more than one season.
Went on too long? Mr. Pickles. I like the show but it continued on past the third season as Momma Named Me Sheriff and it is significantly worse. It just feels like one of those generic crude humor shows by Roger Black and Waco O'Guin that Netflix pumps out.
There's also How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men.
Ended too soon? Jeff and Some Aliens. A great dark comedy cartoon that I have rewatched several times.
Too soon:
Raised By Wolves
Santa Clarita Diet
GLOW
Utopia (the UK version)
Happy Endings
And some older ones
Freaks and Geeks
Popular
Firefly
Too long
Big Bang Theory
The Simpsons
Master Chef
Sex And The City
Too long as in I loved them but then they went downhill:
Westworld
Futurama
Arested Development final season omgwtf
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.
Too long: The Walking Dead, Money Heist
Too soon: Firefly, Extracurricular
Im sad Norsemen got cancelled after season 3.
Profit ended too soon, Dexter went on way too long.
Firefly for too soon
Heroes for too long. It was a strong concept but there’s only so many ways you can write interesting stories with it before it becomes too much
Did Heroes eventually have a proper ending, or did you also abruptly stop watching as it continued to drag on?
Ended too soon? Too many to list. My most recent gripe is half bad on Netflix.
Too long? Most recent is nurse Jackie.
My most recent gripe is half bad on Netflix.
Netflix the notorious unfinisher, was it only truly a quarter bad by its end?
It was fricking good. At least 3/4s good.
