What's a show that should've gotten cancelled or ended SOONER than it did? (lemmy.world)

Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

I think The Shield ended a season too late. If the seasons 6 and 7 were condensed into one with [spoilers ahead] the fallout of the Kavanaugh investigation and the money train, rather than stretching them across two different season, I think the ending would have a tighter pace and would really feel like the "walls are closing in." Plus the whole cartel subplot of the last season came out of nowhere

Edit: Riverdale too, but that should go without saying

Edit 2: House of Cards should've ended with Kevin Spacey leaving

Edit 3: True Detective

Probably controversial, but the final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation was pretty bad - 2 good episodes (and the finale, though people tend to ignore its flaws because the last scene was so satisfying), but the rest of it was mostly Season-1-level filler.

Arrested Development. The Simpsons. Scandal. Scrubs. Friends.

At least the last season of scrubs was a different enough setting/cast, so even though it was definitely not as good, it didn't "ruin" it for me like some other series that have gone on too long.

Wish Agents of SHIELD had ended before anyone uttered the name Daisy.
