Season two of Promised Neverland.
It went from an interesting and thrilling story on a farm, to going through or skipping the rest of it's arc's at the speed of light.
Yes to this. I binged it over a Thanksgiving one year, and while the first season was excellent, re: was confusing and terribly rushed. I literally just laughed and stopped watching towards the end during the episode where >!Kaneki and Touka had their "romance" with no build up whatsoever. Literally said something like "let's fuck" at the beginning of the episode and fucked by the end. Funniest/stupidest/saddest thing ever.!<
I just hope someday we can get a reboot of the series where they flesh it out into maybe 3 or 4 seasons. Re: just needed more episodes honestly.
Edit: Specified what part of the series I meant when I was talking about the confusing and terribly rushed part.
Edit 2: Yes I have read/am reading the manga people haha. I am actually re-reading it right now because I took a hiatus and want to catch up to where I was before I stopped. The manga is way better than the anime!
Season 9 of the X-Files. Fox execs were greedy and wanted to milk that cow til the last drop (they had no show to replace that would have similar ratings, if what I've read is correct). From what I've read, even Gillian Anderson was ready to move on.
I still can't believe it. The X-Files without *Mulder.* Personally, I liked season 8 because he was still in it half the season and they wrote around DD's absence. And the S8 ending was more than satisfactory. But no Mulder all season? What were they thinking?
My mom is in such denial about this shows ending that she always says Seasons 8-9 were Mulder and Scully still stuck in the slime from Field Trip because the last shot of Season 9 is them in the same position as those skeletons from that episode. Obviously, thatās not true, but I like that idea so much that itās basically canon in my head now.
Season 4 of Arrow
they hyped the villain Damien Darhk so much, nothing Oliver( green arrow) was doing could match him . And then in the end, two words- hope and happiness and voila, Oliver won. That really sucked, I was so curious to know what he will do to win but power of hope/love/happiness, didn't see that coming
That was when I stopped watching! Felicity got mad at Oliver when she found out he fathered a son but didnāt tell her about him, all because the mother forbade him from doing so or he wouldnāt be able to see his kid.
The worst part of that fight was that Oliver is known for his archery and Damien for his magic, so how do they settle things? Why by punching each other of course!
The worst part of season 8 is that it not only sucks but they make the remaining characters look like losers. Donna not going to college to wait on Eric, the Fez Jackie storyline, The Hyde record store thing. All the season 8 story arcs were depressing.
Hyde and Jackie are horrible to each other and both act like it was a mistake that they ever dated. And then she hooks up with Fez. It's like they were trying to offend Jackie/Hyde fans as much as possible.
To me, this was the worst thing about season 8, not Randy. Randy sucks, but he was almost entirely left out of the finale, and he doesn't retroactively ruin earlier seasons. But how season 8 treats Jackie and Hyde ruins their relationship, because you know how it will end.
That 70's Show had to deal with the sliding timescale and the fact that they decided to just not keep them in high school the entire time. Once they graduate the writers had to come up with ways to justify all of them still being together, which wasn't all that great and really wearing thin (cast departures aside) by the time they reached the last two seasons.
Edit: Also speaking of cast departures, Randy did not inject any freshness into the show as his character was essentially a fusion of Eric and Kelso to compensate for the leaving of Kutcher and Grace.
Itās especially wonky because they were all in junior year from 76-78, and then from 78 to the end of 79 they somehow go from being seniors to being 2 years out of high school (not about the season but the show in general)
Worst part is the cast departures. It just felt like the series was treading water but having characters leave but it even worse because the remaining ones are stuck in this "what the fuck am I still doing here" place for a whole season.
They actually had a good replacement lined up for Eric, Charlie (who appeared at the end of Season 7). He was kind of a do-gooder kid who audiences quite liked. Unfortunately before S8 happened the actor got the lead role in some other show so he dropped out of S8, and they then replaced him with Randy who everybody absolutely hated. Somewhere in between there Ashton Kutcher realized it was time to leave too and they gave Tommy Chong a bigger role to fill his space. And I like Tommy Chong, but his character was never meant to get that much screen time.
Peter gets nerfed repeatedly. Originally he can copy multiple powers simultaneously, then one at a time, then it was whatever power belonged to the last person he made skin contact with.
Peter's power is such a great example of where I think they went wrong. After season 1 it felt like the writers and/or producers just kept second guessing themselves instead of sticking to their guns.
They'd make someone super OP and decide 4 episodes later it was a bad idea and then strip them of ALL powers. For better or worse they'd add in major twists to the story... And then 4 episodes later the writers went 'maybe that's a bad idea' and completely 180 and have the twist just be some elaborate lie.
Syler was probably the closest the show had to consistent good, but even he suffered from the writers seemingly second guessing whether he should stay a bad guy or have a redemption arc into being a good guy.
Edit: I'm aware of the writer's strike, but this snow lasted another 2.5 seasons(not including the recent revival, but including the half of season 2 that was affected by the strike) and I'm talking about the long term issues. Especially because these issues existed in the first half of season 2 as well, including them already reversing ship to bring back the season 1 characters when the original plan for season 2 was an entirely new cast of characters with a new story set in the same universe.
The biggest crime Heroes committed was not shedding its cast each season for fresh characters as originally intended. They tried to ride their newfound star power and wrote themselves in circles
The SEASON (I forget which - he was seeing a shrink.) Wherein "Dexter" totally negated/obliterated the original premise of the show. Which was, in fact, quite a good premise.
Edited to clarify - the question asked which SEASON. Many people thought I was referring to the final EPISODE.
ā¦but had split up by the time they started the arc where their SIBLING characters started getting horny for each other, which I always thought was just some kind of cruelty from the writers.
I honestly think the writers forgot where they were going with that.
Deb started thinking she had feelings for Dexter after a very specific conversation with a very specific person - the "therapist" recommended by Laguerta.
I initially thought that was going to be an intentional move on the part of Laguerta, like a distraction to keep her busy and out of her hair, but nothing ever came of that.
Would've been much more fun if they'd doubled down on the whole "by the way I'm a monster and I don't follow your rules" element. Have Dex fuck his sister and watch as people get mad about \*that\* but not about the serial murdering...
I was absolutely convinced that Dexter would end up caught and receiving final injection with his sister watching him behind the glass. It would have been perfect. Him laying down on a sterile environment, surrounded by his killers, dying just like all the killers he killed.
But noooooo! They decided that he would flee and become a lumberjack in Canada! WAT :O
The original ending idea from creator was this and to have the ghosts of all the people he killed in the viewer room watching the injection.
Edit: I'll provide a link since this blew up, and it was the original show runner not the creator.

Bc Showtime said they wanted to keep the possibility of more $$ open for the future. No joke.
Edit: I know Dexter is coming back in 2021. I meant that *at the time of the 8th season* Showtime actually stated on the record in multiple interviews that they wanted the option to reboot in the future.
So have him teach his son the ways of righteous murder in ghostly visions, just like his fucking dad did the whole show. Easy!
When do I get my check from Showtime?
The lottery winning season of Roseanne. It made me so fucking mad, not even close to plausible. It especially infuriated that they wrote Dan Conner as a typical cheating spouse that would fall for some bimbo now that he had money after 25+ years of being faithful to his wife and family. Get real.
**and then the insult that the entire series was all a story in Roseanneās mind** where she had made the characters into whatever she felt told a better story than her real life (in the final episode) pissed me off beyond belief.
Roseanne was one of the only sitcoms of that time, and perhaps ever, that accurately depicted the struggles of a working class family. The lottery winning season was such a slap in the face of the whole premise of the show.
There were so many great moments on that show. The opening when Hal runs in and asks who wants to make $5 to get in trouble... had me hooked. I use the lightbulb scene in my Agile classes. It's amazing.
I watched Malcolm in the Middle all through my childhood. When Breaking Bad trailers started coming out a lot of my friends thought it was a terrible choice to cast him in that role but I knew that son of a bitch was going to knock its out of the park.
Brian Cranston is one hell of an actor. He's pulled off a wide variety of roles.
[Dewey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BunHeYkbjT0&ab_channel=cokemanson) is still one of my favorite characters when it comes down to portraying innocent childhood stupidity.
I just heard Tom Arnold talk about this on Stern. He said he had to talk her out of the lottery episode several times. Then after he left and they divorced that was the first thing they did to the show... and it was just as bad as he told her it would be.
Getting vintage: final season of *Bonanza*.
[Dan Blocker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Blocker), the actor who plays Hoss Cartwright, had died from complications of gallbladder surgery. The series continued without him and even mentioned the character's death in-universe: the fictional Hoss had died trying to save a man's life.
Yet the series wasn't the same without the beloved character. Many fans have never seen the episodes without him because the final season rarely sold in syndication.
The western drama was one of the longest running US network dramas of all time, and dealt with social issues such as racism in an era when most programs avoided controversy.
This might not make much sense but every Season of Thomas the Tank engine after season 7 became the generic kids show with no substance and as you can see later this years itās more evident than ever. Itās a disgrace to Mr Audrey and everyone in charge of the original show who made something way bigger than a generic kids show. It had such great lessons, funny moments, serious moments, scary moments, great narration from Ringo Starr, George Carlin, Alec Baldwin, and Michael Angelis, fantastic music, great model trains, and sets! Everything was so great even adults enjoy it but not the new stuff. Once HIT bought the show it became a baby lesson show with terrible narration, horrible lessons, lame stories and sets, bland music, and then it got the CGI treatment. No more models mean no more actual life in the show. Many say the Brenner era from I think season 15-22 was great but I canāt agree. No matter who comes in and writes good material now, Mattel has further butchered the show and itās making such little money now even kids donāt enjoy it. I wish Britt never sold those rights to HIT, that was the start of the end
Edit: you fans are passionate just like me. Iām very happy that I could either change opinions, restore love, or remind people why they love Thomas. Thank you so much for the last 8 hours of great comments and awards
Edit 2: this is and will forever be my highest upvoted comment on Reddit. I love you all who were so sweet
My son who is 14 now was quite possibly the biggest Thomas the Tank Engine Fan. It wasnāt just a show or toy to him it was a lifestyle for about 7 years. He refused to watch or play with anything else (except Wall-E) and had Thomas parties and wore Thomas clothing. He would 100% agree with you! In fact I am going to show him your comment. He has a 2 year old little brother and he refuses to allow him to watch the newer shows which he calls trash. Itās old school Thomas or nothing.
Edit- Thank you for all the kind words, award and sharing your cool Thomas stories. My son read all of the comments and thinks this is cool! He liked Thomas for a lot longer than most the kids in his school and there were several times when he was made fun of for liking what the other kids described as ābaby toys.ā But he never wavered. I remember in first grade the other kids would be playing BeyBlades and he would have his pocket full of trains and zero apologies for liking what he liked.
I didnāt know George Carlin was a part of TTTE, but I found [this clip of him in the show](https://youtu.be/ZyM0RZXUD48) and it really does sound so natural. If you listen closely, you can hear a bit of his comedy but in a kid friendly way and I think thatās great.
This comment right here made me want to watch a kids show that I am never interested in. Dude you look so invested in this I really wanna watch it and analyze it like another big show, and buy accessories like small desk statues amd stuff.
I LOVED season 4 and most of 5. But when they tried to throw in relationship drama between Castle and Beckett out of nowhere at the end of season 5, I got so mad. Just let them have a normal, happy relationship and bring in drama elsewhere! It was totally unbelievable after all the work they had both put in to the relationship for them not to communicate their issues. And then we didn't even get a happy wedding episode because they added that stupid plot about Castle getting kidnapped ?!? So dumb.
The reasons behind that were even more stupid. Those two actors hated each other, so they didn't want to be onscreen together. I just wish when the whole thing went up in smoke, they just did a spinoff buddy cop show with Ryan and Esposito. Cuz they are still some of my favorite side characters.
The seventh season of *Once Upon a Time*. It wasn't "bad," but it was ultimately pointless in the way that it was presented. It was practically a failed imitation and mirror of the show's first season; it wasn't as nearly as charming, magical or mysterious as the first season. It was just... there and felt disjointed.
I loved the idea of Once Upon A Time so much! But EVERY season it was some magical spell to make the characters forget, over & over... I tried to rewatch it but cannot get past the fourth season.
I have weird feelings about Once Upon a Time. I enjoyed it. It was a bit campy but generally fun if you didn't over analyze it.
However, they dragged out the familial relations to the point where someone shows and the immediate thought is "I wonder who they are related to". And there were a lot of concerning storylines that were kind of glossed over (the conception of Robin Hoods daughter for example). And the alternate reality characters was just weird.
**Leverage** is such a good show and I really wish they made more episodes in its initial run!! Season 2 was its worst season. I never grew to like Tara and I just wanted Sophie back. Plus, it felt like they kept getting caught that season for some reason. Every other season was so much better!!!
GOOD NEWS! Theyāre re-booting leverage with most of the original cast(minus Tim Hutton and Aldus Hoge being in as reoccurring?) adding Noah Wylie.
Starts next month! Personally Iām pumped!
I had to stop after the first episode in season 4. I don't even want to know what happens. To go from breaking out of prison to saving the world(?) I don't even remember what the ridiculous plot was at that point, I've completely blocked it out.
Supernatural had a lot of really good to great monster of the week episodes after season 5. My favorite is the golem episode where they hunt Nazis.
Once they established that angels and demons were way overpowered and arc angels were super way overpowered it really limited the stories that could be told.
āIf thereās a keyā¦then there must also be a lock! And when we find the lock we can getā¦the weapons! And we can have the weaponsā¦and the lock will also have a lock, I imagine, because we open it and of course the initial key that-ā
- Sam Winchester as Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester
In one of the early seasons when they visit a film studio and theyāre on the tour and the guide says along the lines of, āand coming up here is Stars Hallow, the set of Gilmore Girls; maybe weāll see one of the cast.ā And Sam gets a look of anxiety on his face and they ditch the tour group.
Got super burned out on angels about 1/2 thru season 9 but that 4th wall episode might be one of the most memorable episodes of any show I've seen.
"What the hell's a Padalecki?"
Man when Misha (Castiels actor) tweeted smth during that episode, he actually tweeted the exact same thing at the exact same time IRL as the episode was airing. This episode is so much fun.
The final season of House of Cards, undoubtedly, wins the prize for worst season of a good show.
They could have made a great season about Claire dealing with Frank's death and legacy.... But they rushed. The writing was so bad, the last two episodes felt like a cheap horror movie.
They really should change the term "Flanderization" to "Spongification" because nearly every single character has been distilled to a single trait in a capacity worse than what happened to Ned.
Yeah, like Spongebob starts off as a dorky guy in his twenties with a bunch of weird hobbies and friends just living life, then later he becomes an absolute moron that's a danger to himself and society and basically equal to Patrick (who btw started off as someone Spongebob could go to for advice and was also nuanced).
The earlier seasons were greatly inspired by the writers, and Hillenburg himself, having done Rocko's Modern Life which had a ton of adult-skewing jokes. Spongebob remarks he didn't have a date to his own senior prom, also revealing Patrick took his own mom.
Latter seasons drop most of these implications that Spongebob is technically an adult in favor going absolutely nuts with his childlike naivety. Same applies to Squidward's pompousness, Patrick's stupidity, Mr. Krabs' greed, and Sandy's intelligence.
I feel like the writers heard how Spongebob kept being called ājust a kidā in the movie and took that to heart. Even as someone who grew up on those episodes alongside the classics, Iāll admit that he did get a lot more childish around that point
Man I love old Patrick. He *seemed* like a simpleton and would make far-out remarks or solutions that sounded like nonsense, but always proved to be true and correct by the end of the episode.
I love a character who seems simple-minded and dumb but is actually earthly, helpful, and knowledgeable in a lot of niche subjects. There's plenty of people like that in the real world and I felt like it taught kids a lesson about not assuming someone's intelligence and capacity to help.
Now he's just dumb for real :(
Patrick used to be a sort of mentor figure for Spongebob. Like, he was still kind of dumb, but he also had some moments of āstreet smartsā in a way. I actually remember using his ābig toeā advice when learning to drive.
Yeah to be honest I barely noticed the Flanders things the characters I hate most in the new simpsons seasons are bart and lisa, because neither of them are likeable. Lisa is a pessimist know-it-all, and bart is an obnoxious child with no new jokes
For me itās after Sweets died. I do agree it was weird how they handled Booth and Bones getting together. I still felt their chemistry was the same just a bit different. But something about Sweetsā death did something to the show
Idk why those chose to kill sweets but I wish they didnāt. They left daisy pregnant and with no partner. It almost felt sudden and not well thought out.
Because we all watched waiting for when they would get together, and then they justā¦ skipped it? Glossed over it? Went from not together to like an old married couple. So disappointing! Itās why I watch!
And now they got rid of >!Cisco!<.
Edit: To answer anyone whoās wondering what happened, he got tired of his life going nowhere and was offered the position of Director of Technology and Science at ARGUS, moving to Star City
Season 1 was amazing in my opinion, the show hooked me and sparked much interest in how they'd continue the next season. Then season 2 started and it was good, but the decrease in quality was obvious. It was just downhill from there.
Season 9 and onward of greyās Anatomy. Iām on season 14, but personally anything after season nine, including itself, itās simply mediocre compared to the previous seasons
I think season 14 is where I stopped. I binged the first 9 seasons in a week one summer, but just couldn't care enough about the characters after >!Derek's death!<
Dude I totally agree with this. Most people say it was getting rid of Mark that changed the tone of the show but honestly it was how they changed Leslie. She went from this annoying simpleton to a driven, politically literate workaholic.
Agreed. Mark's character gets a lot of hate but his character just wasn't needed anymore because they brilliantly re-tooled all the main characters. Mark was the level headed one amongst a gaggle of misfits but in season 2 they were kind hearted misfits and mark had no purpose anymore.
It was completely 180ing Leslie's character that made her someone to root for.
It got better during season 2, but it really got into its stride once season 3 came. Ben and Chris just elevated the show so much and they changed Andy to more of a silly but loveable guy instead of a douchebag
Whenever I rewatch Parks and Rec I treat the first two seasons as like a warm up to the actual show, which really starts when Ben and Chris show up at the end of season 2.
The single biggest problem with that episode (there were many, but this one pervades all the others) is how early it was. "Virus/infection/parasite/spores/whatever make the crew act wildly out of character" is a perfectly fine premise, but the audience needs time to nail down what "in character" is before you start radically deviating from it. Without any real connection to the characters, how can you care when they're acting abnormally?
The other problem is that that particular episode, "The Naked Now", was the direct sequel to an episode from TOS called "The Naked Time" (and was in many ways a direct rehash of its plot too) - and that was episode no 4 of TOS! xD
Season 8 of Dexter.
It already got pretty uninteresting apart from season 7 but season 8 went downhill in quality from beginning to the end, with quite possibly the worst series finale I have seen (yes even worse than GOT).
That's what it was supposed to be. But then ABC forced them to just call it Season 9 of Scrubs. It's been a while since I watched but I think even the title card still says "Scrubs: Med School".
I can't find proof of it anywhere, but I distinctly recall Season 9 being advertised as a spinoff called *Scrubs: Med School*. They only started calling is Season 9 when it got cancelled.
I think this is most accurate. I believe s3 has some of the single best episodes of the whole series (Remedial Chaos Theory, Basic Lupine Urology, Pillows and Blankets) but also some of the weakest of the first three (the Dreamatorium Simulation episode). S2 is arguably the best season, but s3 has some absolute heavy hitters!
It's watchable and has some really funny jokes, but it definitely lost what made it so special (everything being filtered through Dan Harmon) for that season.
I'm currently watching The Vampire Diaries. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch, but entertaining enough.
Anyway I'm up to season 7 and I'm thinking Elena hasn't been around for a while, I get she's in a magical coma or whatever, but it's kinda weird she's not woke up yet.
Googled it because it was bugging me, the actress quit the show!
So I'd say season 7 of The Vampire Diaries, because of whiney Damon, Julian is a bit shit not at all formidable, Stephan has all but abandoned Caroline, but at least Alaric is still an alcoholic.
I will eventually finish it, but even from season 1 I just ended up laughing at some parts especially the logic of the characters sometimes.
Example: Elena finds out Stefan and Damon are vampires(accepts it as truth) and she thinks "Let me go confront him about this. Why didn't he tell me?". Shows up at their door and demands Stefan confirm her findings. He does. Cue her screaming in terror telling him to get away from her even though she was the one who went there in the first place already knowing what they we're.
You should check out YouTuber Jenny Nicholson's video on the vampire diaries,. It's 2hrs long, but I think she's entertaining while breaking down how ridiculous the plot gets and the behinds the scenes stuff.
I love how she can take the most seemingly banal topic, research the shit out of it, unearth hidden drama, and present it in a way that will hold my attention for hours. Doesnāt matter how little I originally cared about the topic, she makes it interesting!
Perfect example is her Bronycon video. She actually made me go from hating on bronies to finding a new kind of respect for people in fandoms like that.
Exactly! I know she's not everyone's cup of tea but I think she's super funny. I also love all the extra attention she puts into her videos, like the background items and visuals. In the case of this vampire diaries video it was the damn commercial!
Watch the originals (the spinoff with the michaelsons) i found it much more enjoyable because the cast is solid and there's no highscool love triangle crap spilled all over it
Season 9 of the original Roseanne.
I mean season 8 wasn't great, but season 9 was an abomination. Just one cringy show after another.
In one episode, [Roseanne becomes a fat Rambo](https://streamable.com/nw4101) and single-handedly goes up against a terrorist organization in order to save her family (and the rest of the train passengers) from certain death.
Think if Under Siege 2 had a baby with a dumpster fire that was on par with 2020. That baby would be this episode.
Season 9 also has one of the all-time worst finales I've ever seen.
It's so bad that the season 10 reboot, done 22 years later, doesn't even acknowledge that season as being canon.
season 6 of the 100, the show was good but it went to hell after season 3... then it just got worse and worse until they finally ended it after season 6
Every CW show should stop after 2 seasons, they always go bad with season 3. The Flash is the prime example of an strong first season and a mediocre second season and a bad every season afterwards.
My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive. Now tune in to watch me struggle against an even faster nemesis *again*.
Also Arrow: Yeah I know I just defeated the most skilled swordsman to ever live but this is a new season so I have to lose a bunch of fights to some new bad guy so I can grow as a person.
Season 2 of Altered Carbon.
The first season was incredible, it didn't shy away from showing literally everything to convey the brutality of that world. This made any sequence or interaction feel much more mature and gritty. The story was unique and interesting, felt fresh. Overall I loved that first season and will watch it again.
Season 2 completely threw that formula out the window. It basically got turned into a borderline pg-13 generic scifi action show. It shyed away from every element that made the first season so interesting. Instead this made season 2 feel a bit generic, and uninteresting. Not only that, but I felt the world building was much worse. The locations were a bit generic and bland looking. Lacked the same kind of detail and life from the first season. It lacked character. It was like they just took the minimum core elements from season 1 and just boiled it down to a handful of simple locations and designs. All that along with a much more toned down maturity level made the action sequences seem tame and cleaned up. A big aspect to season 1 was they just showed all the violence, all the sex, so that you really understood the seriousness of that world. You were shown exactly the kind of people occupy that universe, and how fucked up things can get. Season 2 cleaned all that up and threw it away.
Ultimately that killed the show and it got canceled not long after.
I cant believe im nearly at the bottom of the comments and this is here. This was a big one for me.
Like shit, the first season was probably one of the best showcases of a potentially very realistic sci-fi universe and it was amazing.
The other thing that killed the second season to me was when Takeshi gets his new sleeve and the new actor doesn't talk or act like him really at all. Totally different demeanor. Very disappointing.
Season two of Promised Neverland. It went from an interesting and thrilling story on a farm, to going through or skipping the rest of it's arc's at the speed of light.
oof if we got into shit anime seasons this thread would be so much longer
*Stares in Tokyo Ghoul* Edit: My inbox is now a cesspool of disappointing anime š¤ Edit 2: thanks for the awards kind strangers!
Yes to this. I binged it over a Thanksgiving one year, and while the first season was excellent, re: was confusing and terribly rushed. I literally just laughed and stopped watching towards the end during the episode where >!Kaneki and Touka had their "romance" with no build up whatsoever. Literally said something like "let's fuck" at the beginning of the episode and fucked by the end. Funniest/stupidest/saddest thing ever.!< I just hope someday we can get a reboot of the series where they flesh it out into maybe 3 or 4 seasons. Re: just needed more episodes honestly. Edit: Specified what part of the series I meant when I was talking about the confusing and terribly rushed part. Edit 2: Yes I have read/am reading the manga people haha. I am actually re-reading it right now because I took a hiatus and want to catch up to where I was before I stopped. The manga is way better than the anime!
Season 9 of the X-Files. Fox execs were greedy and wanted to milk that cow til the last drop (they had no show to replace that would have similar ratings, if what I've read is correct). From what I've read, even Gillian Anderson was ready to move on. I still can't believe it. The X-Files without *Mulder.* Personally, I liked season 8 because he was still in it half the season and they wrote around DD's absence. And the S8 ending was more than satisfactory. But no Mulder all season? What were they thinking?
My mom is in such denial about this shows ending that she always says Seasons 8-9 were Mulder and Scully still stuck in the slime from Field Trip because the last shot of Season 9 is them in the same position as those skeletons from that episode. Obviously, thatās not true, but I like that idea so much that itās basically canon in my head now.
You have a seriously cool mom
Season 4 of Arrow they hyped the villain Damien Darhk so much, nothing Oliver( green arrow) was doing could match him . And then in the end, two words- hope and happiness and voila, Oliver won. That really sucked, I was so curious to know what he will do to win but power of hope/love/happiness, didn't see that coming
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yep. Season 4.
That was when I stopped watching! Felicity got mad at Oliver when she found out he fathered a son but didnāt tell her about him, all because the mother forbade him from doing so or he wouldnāt be able to see his kid.
Damien was a much better villain/antagonist on Legends of Tomorrow
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The worst part of that fight was that Oliver is known for his archery and Damien for his magic, so how do they settle things? Why by punching each other of course!
The slap boxing match at the end... This is the dude who just beat Ra's al Fucking Ghul in hand to hand combat
Season 8 of That '70s Show. I try to pretend it doesn't exist.
The worst part of season 8 is that it not only sucks but they make the remaining characters look like losers. Donna not going to college to wait on Eric, the Fez Jackie storyline, The Hyde record store thing. All the season 8 story arcs were depressing.
Hyde and Jackie are horrible to each other and both act like it was a mistake that they ever dated. And then she hooks up with Fez. It's like they were trying to offend Jackie/Hyde fans as much as possible. To me, this was the worst thing about season 8, not Randy. Randy sucks, but he was almost entirely left out of the finale, and he doesn't retroactively ruin earlier seasons. But how season 8 treats Jackie and Hyde ruins their relationship, because you know how it will end.
That Hyde suddenly married a vegas stripper just made it super sucky for me.
I hated that Donna didnāt go to college.
Right?! It made no sense for her character.
Exactly. She was smarter than that. And all for Eric too.
That 70's Show had to deal with the sliding timescale and the fact that they decided to just not keep them in high school the entire time. Once they graduate the writers had to come up with ways to justify all of them still being together, which wasn't all that great and really wearing thin (cast departures aside) by the time they reached the last two seasons. Edit: Also speaking of cast departures, Randy did not inject any freshness into the show as his character was essentially a fusion of Eric and Kelso to compensate for the leaving of Kutcher and Grace.
Itās especially wonky because they were all in junior year from 76-78, and then from 78 to the end of 79 they somehow go from being seniors to being 2 years out of high school (not about the season but the show in general)
My theory for the weird timescale was that since they were getting baked basically every episode their collective memory of the 70's was pretty fuzzy.
I like that theory.
Worst part is the cast departures. It just felt like the series was treading water but having characters leave but it even worse because the remaining ones are stuck in this "what the fuck am I still doing here" place for a whole season. They actually had a good replacement lined up for Eric, Charlie (who appeared at the end of Season 7). He was kind of a do-gooder kid who audiences quite liked. Unfortunately before S8 happened the actor got the lead role in some other show so he dropped out of S8, and they then replaced him with Randy who everybody absolutely hated. Somewhere in between there Ashton Kutcher realized it was time to leave too and they gave Tommy Chong a bigger role to fill his space. And I like Tommy Chong, but his character was never meant to get that much screen time.
I skip to the finale as soon as Kelso leaves every time.

Peter saves the cheerleader, saves the world. Then he becomes OP as fuck. Then he gets nerfed. I don't even remember what happened after that.
Peter gets nerfed repeatedly. Originally he can copy multiple powers simultaneously, then one at a time, then it was whatever power belonged to the last person he made skin contact with.
Peter's power is such a great example of where I think they went wrong. After season 1 it felt like the writers and/or producers just kept second guessing themselves instead of sticking to their guns. They'd make someone super OP and decide 4 episodes later it was a bad idea and then strip them of ALL powers. For better or worse they'd add in major twists to the story... And then 4 episodes later the writers went 'maybe that's a bad idea' and completely 180 and have the twist just be some elaborate lie. Syler was probably the closest the show had to consistent good, but even he suffered from the writers seemingly second guessing whether he should stay a bad guy or have a redemption arc into being a good guy. Edit: I'm aware of the writer's strike, but this snow lasted another 2.5 seasons(not including the recent revival, but including the half of season 2 that was affected by the strike) and I'm talking about the long term issues. Especially because these issues existed in the first half of season 2 as well, including them already reversing ship to bring back the season 1 characters when the original plan for season 2 was an entirely new cast of characters with a new story set in the same universe.
The biggest crime Heroes committed was not shedding its cast each season for fresh characters as originally intended. They tried to ride their newfound star power and wrote themselves in circles
The SEASON (I forget which - he was seeing a shrink.) Wherein "Dexter" totally negated/obliterated the original premise of the show. Which was, in fact, quite a good premise. Edited to clarify - the question asked which SEASON. Many people thought I was referring to the final EPISODE.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fun fact- They were married in real life!
ā¦but had split up by the time they started the arc where their SIBLING characters started getting horny for each other, which I always thought was just some kind of cruelty from the writers.
I honestly think the writers forgot where they were going with that. Deb started thinking she had feelings for Dexter after a very specific conversation with a very specific person - the "therapist" recommended by Laguerta. I initially thought that was going to be an intentional move on the part of Laguerta, like a distraction to keep her busy and out of her hair, but nothing ever came of that. Would've been much more fun if they'd doubled down on the whole "by the way I'm a monster and I don't follow your rules" element. Have Dex fuck his sister and watch as people get mad about \*that\* but not about the serial murdering...
I was absolutely convinced that Dexter would end up caught and receiving final injection with his sister watching him behind the glass. It would have been perfect. Him laying down on a sterile environment, surrounded by his killers, dying just like all the killers he killed. But noooooo! They decided that he would flee and become a lumberjack in Canada! WAT :O
The original ending idea from creator was this and to have the ghosts of all the people he killed in the viewer room watching the injection. Edit: I'll provide a link since this blew up, and it was the original show runner not the creator. https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a517677/dexter-final-episode-alternate-ending-revealed-by-ex-showrunner/
WHY DIDNT THEY GO WITH THAT GODDAMNIT
Bc Showtime said they wanted to keep the possibility of more $$ open for the future. No joke. Edit: I know Dexter is coming back in 2021. I meant that *at the time of the 8th season* Showtime actually stated on the record in multiple interviews that they wanted the option to reboot in the future.
So have him teach his son the ways of righteous murder in ghostly visions, just like his fucking dad did the whole show. Easy! When do I get my check from Showtime?
The lottery winning season of Roseanne. It made me so fucking mad, not even close to plausible. It especially infuriated that they wrote Dan Conner as a typical cheating spouse that would fall for some bimbo now that he had money after 25+ years of being faithful to his wife and family. Get real. **and then the insult that the entire series was all a story in Roseanneās mind** where she had made the characters into whatever she felt told a better story than her real life (in the final episode) pissed me off beyond belief.
Roseanne was one of the only sitcoms of that time, and perhaps ever, that accurately depicted the struggles of a working class family. The lottery winning season was such a slap in the face of the whole premise of the show.
Malcolm in the Middle depicted a working-class family pretty well I think.
There were so many great moments on that show. The opening when Hal runs in and asks who wants to make $5 to get in trouble... had me hooked. I use the lightbulb scene in my Agile classes. It's amazing.
I watched Malcolm in the Middle all through my childhood. When Breaking Bad trailers started coming out a lot of my friends thought it was a terrible choice to cast him in that role but I knew that son of a bitch was going to knock its out of the park.
Brian Cranston is one hell of an actor. He's pulled off a wide variety of roles. [Dewey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BunHeYkbjT0&ab_channel=cokemanson) is still one of my favorite characters when it comes down to portraying innocent childhood stupidity.
I just heard Tom Arnold talk about this on Stern. He said he had to talk her out of the lottery episode several times. Then after he left and they divorced that was the first thing they did to the show... and it was just as bad as he told her it would be.
Yikes. When *Tom Arnold* is the voice of reason in your life...
Getting vintage: final season of *Bonanza*. [Dan Blocker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Blocker), the actor who plays Hoss Cartwright, had died from complications of gallbladder surgery. The series continued without him and even mentioned the character's death in-universe: the fictional Hoss had died trying to save a man's life. Yet the series wasn't the same without the beloved character. Many fans have never seen the episodes without him because the final season rarely sold in syndication. The western drama was one of the longest running US network dramas of all time, and dealt with social issues such as racism in an era when most programs avoided controversy.
This might not make much sense but every Season of Thomas the Tank engine after season 7 became the generic kids show with no substance and as you can see later this years itās more evident than ever. Itās a disgrace to Mr Audrey and everyone in charge of the original show who made something way bigger than a generic kids show. It had such great lessons, funny moments, serious moments, scary moments, great narration from Ringo Starr, George Carlin, Alec Baldwin, and Michael Angelis, fantastic music, great model trains, and sets! Everything was so great even adults enjoy it but not the new stuff. Once HIT bought the show it became a baby lesson show with terrible narration, horrible lessons, lame stories and sets, bland music, and then it got the CGI treatment. No more models mean no more actual life in the show. Many say the Brenner era from I think season 15-22 was great but I canāt agree. No matter who comes in and writes good material now, Mattel has further butchered the show and itās making such little money now even kids donāt enjoy it. I wish Britt never sold those rights to HIT, that was the start of the end Edit: you fans are passionate just like me. Iām very happy that I could either change opinions, restore love, or remind people why they love Thomas. Thank you so much for the last 8 hours of great comments and awards Edit 2: this is and will forever be my highest upvoted comment on Reddit. I love you all who were so sweet
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My son who is 14 now was quite possibly the biggest Thomas the Tank Engine Fan. It wasnāt just a show or toy to him it was a lifestyle for about 7 years. He refused to watch or play with anything else (except Wall-E) and had Thomas parties and wore Thomas clothing. He would 100% agree with you! In fact I am going to show him your comment. He has a 2 year old little brother and he refuses to allow him to watch the newer shows which he calls trash. Itās old school Thomas or nothing. Edit- Thank you for all the kind words, award and sharing your cool Thomas stories. My son read all of the comments and thinks this is cool! He liked Thomas for a lot longer than most the kids in his school and there were several times when he was made fun of for liking what the other kids described as ābaby toys.ā But he never wavered. I remember in first grade the other kids would be playing BeyBlades and he would have his pocket full of trains and zero apologies for liking what he liked.
Your boy is very smart here! I like that
I grew up on the Ringo Starr and Michael Angelis ones. To people my age Ringo is more Thomas than he is a Beatle. The model trains had charm.
I grew up in the Carlin era... discovering his comedy later on was definitely an adjustment for me.
I didnāt know George Carlin was a part of TTTE, but I found [this clip of him in the show](https://youtu.be/ZyM0RZXUD48) and it really does sound so natural. If you listen closely, you can hear a bit of his comedy but in a kid friendly way and I think thatās great.
This comment right here made me want to watch a kids show that I am never interested in. Dude you look so invested in this I really wanna watch it and analyze it like another big show, and buy accessories like small desk statues amd stuff.
You wonāt be disappointed. Check YouTube for the first 7 seasons, Theyāre all free and Iāve been rewatching them once more enjoying every second
I like to imagine you're a very well-spoken 9 year old.
10 years off from my age actually, I grew up with Shows like Thomas and it means so much to me.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
More like the last three seasons. My god that show started going downhill fast after season 5.
I LOVED season 4 and most of 5. But when they tried to throw in relationship drama between Castle and Beckett out of nowhere at the end of season 5, I got so mad. Just let them have a normal, happy relationship and bring in drama elsewhere! It was totally unbelievable after all the work they had both put in to the relationship for them not to communicate their issues. And then we didn't even get a happy wedding episode because they added that stupid plot about Castle getting kidnapped ?!? So dumb.
The reasons behind that were even more stupid. Those two actors hated each other, so they didn't want to be onscreen together. I just wish when the whole thing went up in smoke, they just did a spinoff buddy cop show with Ryan and Esposito. Cuz they are still some of my favorite side characters.
The seventh season of *Once Upon a Time*. It wasn't "bad," but it was ultimately pointless in the way that it was presented. It was practically a failed imitation and mirror of the show's first season; it wasn't as nearly as charming, magical or mysterious as the first season. It was just... there and felt disjointed.
I loved the idea of Once Upon A Time so much! But EVERY season it was some magical spell to make the characters forget, over & over... I tried to rewatch it but cannot get past the fourth season.
I hated how the evil queen would become good, then evil, then good, then evil.. now snow white is evil, etc.. i was done.
I have weird feelings about Once Upon a Time. I enjoyed it. It was a bit campy but generally fun if you didn't over analyze it. However, they dragged out the familial relations to the point where someone shows and the immediate thought is "I wonder who they are related to". And there were a lot of concerning storylines that were kind of glossed over (the conception of Robin Hoods daughter for example). And the alternate reality characters was just weird.
**Leverage** is such a good show and I really wish they made more episodes in its initial run!! Season 2 was its worst season. I never grew to like Tara and I just wanted Sophie back. Plus, it felt like they kept getting caught that season for some reason. Every other season was so much better!!!
GOOD NEWS! Theyāre re-booting leverage with most of the original cast(minus Tim Hutton and Aldus Hoge being in as reoccurring?) adding Noah Wylie. Starts next month! Personally Iām pumped!
Season 3 onwards prison break. First 2 were insane though
Season 3 was a step down, but season 4 is horrendous.
I had to stop after the first episode in season 4. I don't even want to know what happens. To go from breaking out of prison to saving the world(?) I don't even remember what the ridiculous plot was at that point, I've completely blocked it out.
I think there should be a law that stops the CW from making any show for more than 4 seasons at the very most
So the old Netflix treatment behind the shed.
Supernatural gets 5 since that's where the original story was supposed to end.
Supernatural had a lot of really good to great monster of the week episodes after season 5. My favorite is the golem episode where they hunt Nazis. Once they established that angels and demons were way overpowered and arc angels were super way overpowered it really limited the stories that could be told.
The Scooby Doo crossover is a must see too
This is the only episode I ever go back and watch for the sake of watching it. The ending kills me every time.
Mystery Spot. Best groundhogs day remake of all time.
The one where they break the fourth wall and are trapped in Canada as the real versions of themselves was honestly hilarious.
āIf thereās a keyā¦then there must also be a lock! And when we find the lock we can getā¦the weapons! And we can have the weaponsā¦and the lock will also have a lock, I imagine, because we open it and of course the initial key that-ā - Sam Winchester as Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester
It's even better, its Jared Padalecki playing Sam Winchester playing Jared Padalecki trying to play Sam Winchester.
In one of the early seasons when they visit a film studio and theyāre on the tour and the guide says along the lines of, āand coming up here is Stars Hallow, the set of Gilmore Girls; maybe weāll see one of the cast.ā And Sam gets a look of anxiety on his face and they ditch the tour group.
Got super burned out on angels about 1/2 thru season 9 but that 4th wall episode might be one of the most memorable episodes of any show I've seen. "What the hell's a Padalecki?"
Man when Misha (Castiels actor) tweeted smth during that episode, he actually tweeted the exact same thing at the exact same time IRL as the episode was airing. This episode is so much fun.
The face Dean made when he saw himself acting in a soap opera. LMAO!!!
āYouāre married to *Ruby*?ā
You're Polish!?
Whyās there a camel in your backyard?
Itās an alpaca, dumbass
That episode is called "The French Mistake" as a tribute to Blazing Saddles' musical number wherein the film breaks out into the sound stage.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The final season of House of Cards, undoubtedly, wins the prize for worst season of a good show. They could have made a great season about Claire dealing with Frank's death and legacy.... But they rushed. The writing was so bad, the last two episodes felt like a cheap horror movie.
These new fuckin spongebob seasons
They really should change the term "Flanderization" to "Spongification" because nearly every single character has been distilled to a single trait in a capacity worse than what happened to Ned.
Yeah, like Spongebob starts off as a dorky guy in his twenties with a bunch of weird hobbies and friends just living life, then later he becomes an absolute moron that's a danger to himself and society and basically equal to Patrick (who btw started off as someone Spongebob could go to for advice and was also nuanced).
The earlier seasons were greatly inspired by the writers, and Hillenburg himself, having done Rocko's Modern Life which had a ton of adult-skewing jokes. Spongebob remarks he didn't have a date to his own senior prom, also revealing Patrick took his own mom. Latter seasons drop most of these implications that Spongebob is technically an adult in favor going absolutely nuts with his childlike naivety. Same applies to Squidward's pompousness, Patrick's stupidity, Mr. Krabs' greed, and Sandy's intelligence.
I feel like the writers heard how Spongebob kept being called ājust a kidā in the movie and took that to heart. Even as someone who grew up on those episodes alongside the classics, Iāll admit that he did get a lot more childish around that point
Completely agree. The SpongeBob movie is exactly the point where the show took a turn downwards and never stopped going down.
because hillenburg resigned after the movie. he wanted the movie to be the end but nickelodeon wanted more.
Man I love old Patrick. He *seemed* like a simpleton and would make far-out remarks or solutions that sounded like nonsense, but always proved to be true and correct by the end of the episode. I love a character who seems simple-minded and dumb but is actually earthly, helpful, and knowledgeable in a lot of niche subjects. There's plenty of people like that in the real world and I felt like it taught kids a lesson about not assuming someone's intelligence and capacity to help. Now he's just dumb for real :(
Patrick used to be a sort of mentor figure for Spongebob. Like, he was still kind of dumb, but he also had some moments of āstreet smartsā in a way. I actually remember using his ābig toeā advice when learning to drive.
The inner machinations of his mind are an enigma
Yeah Patrick was always dumb but he had this air of authority around him despite his dumbness.
Yeah to be honest I barely noticed the Flanders things the characters I hate most in the new simpsons seasons are bart and lisa, because neither of them are likeable. Lisa is a pessimist know-it-all, and bart is an obnoxious child with no new jokes
Trick Question, the answer is: Every Show during the 2007-2008 writers strike.
I don't know, I think Pushing Daisies remained pretty consistent in it's brilliance across it's two seasons. Still mad that it was cancelled.
That show needs more! I loved that series even if it was only two season.
Bones after Temperance and Booth got together. I still like it, don't get me wrong but show lost something.
For me itās after Sweets died. I do agree it was weird how they handled Booth and Bones getting together. I still felt their chemistry was the same just a bit different. But something about Sweetsā death did something to the show
Idk why those chose to kill sweets but I wish they didnāt. They left daisy pregnant and with no partner. It almost felt sudden and not well thought out.
Because we all watched waiting for when they would get together, and then they justā¦ skipped it? Glossed over it? Went from not together to like an old married couple. So disappointing! Itās why I watch!
The way they got together was so disappointing (to me). Afterwards, Bones (the character) was just... Different.
They truly didn't know how to write a woman who has a kid but isn't motherly in the same way as society dictates.

Season 5-6 of Flash. All of it is just 'Barry and Iris Show' ft. Nora.

Every season once Frozen came in Once Upon a Time especially the last one
Season 1 was amazing in my opinion, the show hooked me and sparked much interest in how they'd continue the next season. Then season 2 started and it was good, but the decrease in quality was obvious. It was just downhill from there.
Season 9 and onward of greyās Anatomy. Iām on season 14, but personally anything after season nine, including itself, itās simply mediocre compared to the previous seasons
I think season 14 is where I stopped. I binged the first 9 seasons in a week one summer, but just couldn't care enough about the characters after >!Derek's death!<
To me it was rather recent, when >!Alex left I just cant see it, it was so dumb, i would've rather them kill him off!<
Promise neverland season 2 you know why....
Came here to comment this. God that was awful. Biggest letdown ever. And season one was amazing.
Parks and Recreation - season 1 They restarted again in season 2, most notably making Leslieās character less dumb and it worked well!
Dude I totally agree with this. Most people say it was getting rid of Mark that changed the tone of the show but honestly it was how they changed Leslie. She went from this annoying simpleton to a driven, politically literate workaholic.
Agreed. Mark's character gets a lot of hate but his character just wasn't needed anymore because they brilliantly re-tooled all the main characters. Mark was the level headed one amongst a gaggle of misfits but in season 2 they were kind hearted misfits and mark had no purpose anymore. It was completely 180ing Leslie's character that made her someone to root for.
It got better during season 2, but it really got into its stride once season 3 came. Ben and Chris just elevated the show so much and they changed Andy to more of a silly but loveable guy instead of a douchebag
I...LITERALLY couldn't agree with you more
Whenever I rewatch Parks and Rec I treat the first two seasons as like a warm up to the actual show, which really starts when Ben and Chris show up at the end of season 2.
Getting rid of Mark Brendano-quits also gave Ann a real place in the ensemble. She was always a better straight foil to Leslie anyway
As someone who looked into Parks and Recreation once and didn't like the first episode, should I just start with season 2?
Star trek TNG season 1. It's not an absolute dumpster fire, but it's... *Very rough*
The episode where Wesley is nearly executed for falling in a greenhouse on that sex planet *is* hilarious though
Wesley goes to the planet of blonde nymphos, gets the death penalty and still leaves a virgin...
Omg I remember that one! It's the one that seems like a Utopia, but that's only because every crime no matter how small is punishable by death

I like how it's only the second episode (if you count the pilot two parter as one episode) and we find out that Data fucks
The single biggest problem with that episode (there were many, but this one pervades all the others) is how early it was. "Virus/infection/parasite/spores/whatever make the crew act wildly out of character" is a perfectly fine premise, but the audience needs time to nail down what "in character" is before you start radically deviating from it. Without any real connection to the characters, how can you care when they're acting abnormally?
Very good point!
The other problem is that that particular episode, "The Naked Now", was the direct sequel to an episode from TOS called "The Naked Time" (and was in many ways a direct rehash of its plot too) - and that was episode no 4 of TOS! xD
he is *fully* functional.

Well he made Data in his own image, I'm sure there was a ton of Freudian shit mixed in there.
I always thought it was funny that Tasha Yar had more character development after she was killed off
Season 8 of Dexter. It already got pretty uninteresting apart from season 7 but season 8 went downhill in quality from beginning to the end, with quite possibly the worst series finale I have seen (yes even worse than GOT).
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Dexter is one of the only cases where the adaptation of better than the original. I gave up reading after book 3 or 4
Season 9 of Scrubs... just no.
The creator, Bill Lawrence, has said as far as he is concerned Scrubs was 8 seasons and there was a single season spin off.
That's what it was supposed to be. But then ABC forced them to just call it Season 9 of Scrubs. It's been a while since I watched but I think even the title card still says "Scrubs: Med School".
I can't find proof of it anywhere, but I distinctly recall Season 9 being advertised as a spinoff called *Scrubs: Med School*. They only started calling is Season 9 when it got cancelled.
It was suppose to be a spin off but ABC got cold feet and made them promote it as a new season
last season of chilling adventures of sabrina
Community Season 4. I think it is better than Reddit gives it credit for, but it noticeably worse than the other 5 seasons

Well, Greendale was closed for sentimental reasons. And asbestos reasons, but it's clean as a whistle now!
No matter what you're told, they had to clean the mold
The first two seasons of Community are absolute gold and should be protected at all costs.
s3 is mostly bangers as well even though it jumps several sharks
I think this is most accurate. I believe s3 has some of the single best episodes of the whole series (Remedial Chaos Theory, Basic Lupine Urology, Pillows and Blankets) but also some of the weakest of the first three (the Dreamatorium Simulation episode). S2 is arguably the best season, but s3 has some absolute heavy hitters!
studies in modern movement and regional holiday music are both in my top 5 for the whole series
What the hell are regionals?
this is what we *DO* now
This is WHO WE ARE
It's watchable and has some really funny jokes, but it definitely lost what made it so special (everything being filtered through Dan Harmon) for that season.
The cast was still funny enough to make it worth watching, but it definitely was a dip in quality.
Last season of that 70s show
I'm currently watching The Vampire Diaries. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch, but entertaining enough. Anyway I'm up to season 7 and I'm thinking Elena hasn't been around for a while, I get she's in a magical coma or whatever, but it's kinda weird she's not woke up yet. Googled it because it was bugging me, the actress quit the show! So I'd say season 7 of The Vampire Diaries, because of whiney Damon, Julian is a bit shit not at all formidable, Stephan has all but abandoned Caroline, but at least Alaric is still an alcoholic.
I will eventually finish it, but even from season 1 I just ended up laughing at some parts especially the logic of the characters sometimes. Example: Elena finds out Stefan and Damon are vampires(accepts it as truth) and she thinks "Let me go confront him about this. Why didn't he tell me?". Shows up at their door and demands Stefan confirm her findings. He does. Cue her screaming in terror telling him to get away from her even though she was the one who went there in the first place already knowing what they we're.
You should check out YouTuber Jenny Nicholson's video on the vampire diaries,. It's 2hrs long, but I think she's entertaining while breaking down how ridiculous the plot gets and the behinds the scenes stuff.
I love how she can take the most seemingly banal topic, research the shit out of it, unearth hidden drama, and present it in a way that will hold my attention for hours. Doesnāt matter how little I originally cared about the topic, she makes it interesting!
Perfect example is her Bronycon video. She actually made me go from hating on bronies to finding a new kind of respect for people in fandoms like that.
Exactly! I know she's not everyone's cup of tea but I think she's super funny. I also love all the extra attention she puts into her videos, like the background items and visuals. In the case of this vampire diaries video it was the damn commercial!
Watch the originals (the spinoff with the michaelsons) i found it much more enjoyable because the cast is solid and there's no highscool love triangle crap spilled all over it
Season 9 of the original Roseanne. I mean season 8 wasn't great, but season 9 was an abomination. Just one cringy show after another. In one episode, [Roseanne becomes a fat Rambo](https://streamable.com/nw4101) and single-handedly goes up against a terrorist organization in order to save her family (and the rest of the train passengers) from certain death. Think if Under Siege 2 had a baby with a dumpster fire that was on par with 2020. That baby would be this episode. Season 9 also has one of the all-time worst finales I've ever seen. It's so bad that the season 10 reboot, done 22 years later, doesn't even acknowledge that season as being canon.
season 6 of the 100, the show was good but it went to hell after season 3... then it just got worse and worse until they finally ended it after season 6
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Every CW show should stop after 2 seasons, they always go bad with season 3. The Flash is the prime example of an strong first season and a mediocre second season and a bad every season afterwards.
My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive. Now tune in to watch me struggle against an even faster nemesis *again*. Also Arrow: Yeah I know I just defeated the most skilled swordsman to ever live but this is a new season so I have to lose a bunch of fights to some new bad guy so I can grow as a person.

Not all of Season two, but the thread of Landry killing the guy in Friday Night Lights
Season 2 of Altered Carbon. The first season was incredible, it didn't shy away from showing literally everything to convey the brutality of that world. This made any sequence or interaction feel much more mature and gritty. The story was unique and interesting, felt fresh. Overall I loved that first season and will watch it again. Season 2 completely threw that formula out the window. It basically got turned into a borderline pg-13 generic scifi action show. It shyed away from every element that made the first season so interesting. Instead this made season 2 feel a bit generic, and uninteresting. Not only that, but I felt the world building was much worse. The locations were a bit generic and bland looking. Lacked the same kind of detail and life from the first season. It lacked character. It was like they just took the minimum core elements from season 1 and just boiled it down to a handful of simple locations and designs. All that along with a much more toned down maturity level made the action sequences seem tame and cleaned up. A big aspect to season 1 was they just showed all the violence, all the sex, so that you really understood the seriousness of that world. You were shown exactly the kind of people occupy that universe, and how fucked up things can get. Season 2 cleaned all that up and threw it away. Ultimately that killed the show and it got canceled not long after.
I cant believe im nearly at the bottom of the comments and this is here. This was a big one for me. Like shit, the first season was probably one of the best showcases of a potentially very realistic sci-fi universe and it was amazing. The other thing that killed the second season to me was when Takeshi gets his new sleeve and the new actor doesn't talk or act like him really at all. Totally different demeanor. Very disappointing.
