Is there a TV series you regret watching purely because of how long it was, and overall, how unsatisfactory it was when it finished? (piefed.social)

For me, it was The Walking Dead. It obviously suffered seriously quality decline over its run - but because it was so long, I could've instead watched so many other shows instead.

This is a Korean show, but Bulgasal. K-dramas are already notorious for being long, and this was no exception. It was 16 episodes that were each 1.5 hours long. Dramas that revolve around a love story (ill-fated lovers on this one) have no business being that long. And the worst part is the last episode violated the entire show's lore rules just so it would be a happy ending.
