Series that I have left unfinished [View all]
Been thinking about why this is exactly, but I've noticed there are more than a few series--beloved series, mind you--that I have never finished watching, and wondered if any of you experience this same thing. I think it has partly to do with getting used to favorite TV shows being cancelled, so never expecting more when I've watched to the "end" at the time of viewing. And then, often years later, finding that the show continued on.
And then, I have to go back to, if not the beginning, the last season or two I'd seen, to get back into the swing of the story. And then, because it's a repeat and not as captivating, I lose interest and turn to other things, and then revisit a year later, and rinse repeat, and I never am able to finish!
Just off the top of my head, here are some of the series that fit this description for me:
Game of Thrones
Outlander.
Vikings
The Last Kingdom
The Walking Dead
Ray Donovan
Succession
Billions
The Affair
Homeland
and probably many more.
Sometimes it's simply because I let the subscription lapse while I focus elsewhere. But these are all shows I really enjoyed and would like to finish!
How common is this? How do you guys deal with it?
