Firefly - the new season is taking FOREVER man!
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 commaThis 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.
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
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
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.
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
This is why I have a meticulously curated list of shows I’ve watched and the episode I am currently at in Obsidian with dataviews and all 😀
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.
firefly. didn’t continue after finishing the first season and the movie.
I’m not sure if this is a joke but that’s all there was of that show, no?
Whoosh :-p
No, after Serenity, there was a second season released in 2014.
No, there wasn’t.
Are you outside the US?
I had to double check because I’d totally watch a second season but Firefly only got one 14 episode season. When it aired in the US though, they only aired 11 episodes and they aired out of original intended order. Maybe you’re somewhere they split the release of season one in two parts?
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.
The next season of Sherlock on Masterpiece Mystery will be coming any
day yeardecade nowLost 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).
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.
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.
If I ever have “Fuck you money” Im going to buy the western distribution rights for a bunch of Animes, hire an editor to go through Animes, and edit out the recap of the previous episode, the title sequence, the annoying mid episode break and the next episode preview then smash the whole season into one long movie.
IMO you can just watch the last episode recap and next episode preview and get 99% of the content.
Preach.
a friend tried to get me to watch One Piece, I looked up how many episodes there were and I said fuck that lol
there probably are fan edits
I was curious so I looked up how many episodes there were. I agree, fuck that haha
The fan edit is called One Pace. But I would just recommend reading the manga, the anime is pretty crap
Yeah, still haven’t watched the finale. I mean, how often did they pull this “final episodes of the final half of the final part of the final season” shit?!
if you watched the comics on yt,
spoiler
___ basically eren dies have getting beheaded by mikasa.

Yeah, I watched that when I thought the final episodes were released, but things suddenly ended after they were fighting in Marley (or whatever it’s called). Might want to add a spoiler tag, just to be safe :)
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.
Just wait, they’re gonna release “The final finale: finality, the fourth final half of the final part of the finale” any day now!
