    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.

    Caprica, the 1-season Battlestar Galactica prequel. I liked it more than most people, but even I dropped off when they had a 6 month gap in the middle of the season.

    Stranger Things. Season 4 took almost 3 years, during which time I had finally cancelled Netflix. I’m vaguely interested in watching the rest of the show, but not until it’s done.

    Westworld. Never quite finished season 3, and having yet another 2 year wait (after similar gaps between earlier seasons) meant I stopped caring.

      they couldve done caprica better, or did a different series, like the cylon war era series instead, before reimagined BSG, and including all the tech that was suppose to be in the series, because the showrunner hated lasers, and energy weapons in the recent series.

      I forgot how bad the Stranger Things scheduling was. I guess it’s supposed to finally finish this year?

      I’m not sure if this is a joke but that’s all there was of that show, no?

          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?

    Setting up https://wiki.servarr.com/ helps with the latter since it’ll just turn up in Jellyfin one day when a new season miraculously appears, huzzah! 🎉 Also is great when you suddenyy get movies you have no idea what they are about years after adding them 😸

    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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

    Under the Dome, there was quite a lot of hype because of the book of the same name by Stepfen King, but the show was not good. I stopped watching in the middle of the first season.

      Did you read the book? I vaguely remember both and I feel like when the show veered from the book is when it started to go off the rails.

      It’s apparently very hard to do a Stephen King adaptation. For every good one there’s 5 complete failures plus a movie that only used the name and ignored the plot (looking at you, lawnmower man, dark tower, and running man)
