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.

Still hoping Lost gets rebooted at some point and that ending gets retconned. Would be easy to do since you just need new people to wash up on the island.

I'd love a continuation on an unrelated show with an ensemble cast and some wild mysteries, and then the end of the season one of them meets Hurley and he's just like "Dude... Good to see you." and you realize it's Aaron.

It could go in any direction, and you can bring back Linus as Hurley's Richard, and keep tabs on Walt, Charlie Hume, Ji-Yeon Kwon, Clementine, Megan Pace, Zach and Emma, and a bunch of other kids from the show. Introduce some new mysteries, explore other places of power around the world, fight some Eldritch evil, anything is possible.
