\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat To Know<\/p>\n
A Reddit thread prompted TV fans to share shows they were once passionate about but lost interest in right at or before the series finale, often due to disappointing endings.
\nPopular examples mentioned include The Man in the High Castle, True Blood, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Weeds, Prison Break, and How I Met Your Mother, with many citing unsatisfying finales or declining quality.
\nThe discussion highlights how a show\u2019s final episode or season can significantly impact viewers\u2019 lasting interest and overall perception of the series.<\/p>\n
Reddit user LeonardMoney2020 got other TV buffs to confess which shows they gave up on at the very end\u2026 even if that wasn\u2019t exactly the question Leonard was asking.<\/p>\n
\u201cName an example of a show you were hugely into but completely lost interest in as soon as you got to the final episode,\u201d Leonard wrote in a post in the r\/television subreddit<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember back in early 2021, I got into this Power Rangers<\/a>-influenced series called VR Troopers and was obsessed with it, to the point where I even got the show on DVD. (I still have the DVD as well.)\u201d Leonard wrote.<\/p>\n But Leonard\u2019s love for the series \u201ckinda just faded away\u201d after watching the final episode, and they\u2019ve now \u201cpretty much lost all interest in it.\u201d<\/p>\n They added: \u201cIt was an alright show, but looking back, it really wasn\u2019t as amazing as I made it out to be. The writing was mostly good; the fight scenes were pretty good; the acting can be a bit hit or miss at times, though. I was disappointed by the finale, due to the fact that (spoiler alert) the show ends on a cliffhanger. That probably heavily contributed to my interest in the show fading. The theme song unironically slaps, though.\u201d<\/p>\n In a follow-up comment on the thread, Leonard wrote that they meant to ask for TV shows Redditors lost interest in after finishing the final episode, but other commenters answered the question as originally worded. Here are some responses from the discussion:<\/p>\n The Man in the High Castle<\/p>\n \u201cThe Man in the High Castle<\/a>,\u201d partylange wrote. \u201cWatched up to the series finale and never finished it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c[The] Man in [the] High Castle really fell apart, haha,\u201d killias2 responded.<\/p>\n True Blood<\/p>\n \u201cNot hugely into it, but I lost interest progressively in True Blood<\/a>, to the point I got to the final episode\u2026 and never cared enough to watch it, after 7 seasons and 79 episodes,\u201d xantub revealed.<\/p>\n Mr. & Mrs. Smith<\/p>\n \u201cMr. & Mrs. Smith<\/a>,\u201d commented RobGrogNerd. \u201cStopped [halfway through] the final episode. Didn\u2019t [give a f***] how it ended.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis was one of the worst shows I\u2019ve ever seen, lol,\u201d said eggflip1020.<\/p>\n [Note: Mr. & Mrs. Smith hasn\u2019t necessarily aired its series finale, but the Prime Video<\/a> series is in limbo after Season 1<\/a>.]<\/p>\n Weeds<\/p>\n \u201cWeeds<\/a>,\u201d said martinheis97.<\/p>\n \u201cGod, yeah,\u201d firedrakes added. \u201cI refuse to watch the last season.\u201d<\/p>\n Prison Break<\/p>\n \u201cPrison Break<\/a>. Lost interest before the final episode \u2014 still not sure I ever finished the series. But the first season and part of the second were fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n How I Met Your Mother<\/p>\n \u201cI think the textbook example is How I Met Your Mother<\/a>. Or The Sopranos<\/a>,\u201d said Wonderful_Adagio9346, referring to two shows with series finales that disappointed longtime fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What To Know A Reddit thread prompted TV fans to share shows they were once passionate about but…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":272930,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":["post-272929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
