I hear Riverdale was like that.
sandman, it was pretty obvious how cheap the props and costumes are, so you can feel the cheapness, some people had problem with the characters not being what they are suppose to be for the comics. Lucifer, REMIEL. its probably NETFLIX squeezing whats left of the series before cancelling it, i heard neil gaimans sex perversions dint overall affect the cancellation of the show, it was netflix being the usaul, season 2 cancellation theme.
smallvilled. once lois lane was introduced. which made no sense to happen in smallville before he was a reporter and then that was about when lex went from being a sorta walking the edge antihero to villian which sorta ruined the schtick. Honestly lex luther was the main character to me in the show.
I stopped watching american gods with season 2. season 1 was amazing and season two was like. is anything related to the story even going on half the time.
iZombie
Original premise: Liv is a doctor is accidentally turned into a zombie. She becomes a medical examiner in order to have access to brains. After discovering eating the brains of murder victims gives her flashbacks and moments leading up to the victim’s death, she helps a detective to solve crimes by pretending to be psychic. A side effect of the brain eating is that she may temporarily acquire skills or idiosyncrasies of the victim. Meanwhile, Blaine, another zombie, is turning rich people into zombies to extort them in return for brains of people he’s killing.
How it went: Pretty much everyone in the main cast is a zombie (or were-zombie), there’s an evil corporation, an entire city full of zombies, a good guy private military contractor that turns into a bad guy private military contractor, and etc. that I won’t spoil any further. And eating a brain pretty much makes you take on that person’s entire personality wholesale.
The thing is, it was great! It ended pretty strong without wearing out its welcome or getting too absurd plot-wise. Meanwhile everyone in the cast is clearly having fun with the over-the-top, flanderised personality mechanics, and it’s just fun to watch.
Reboot definitely ended up that way. Went from a simple defeat the enemy every week and beat the user in the game cube storyline to a much more serious storyline. Ended up with part of a final season where a man with a gun tries to get back home as an angelic looking super virus tries infecting every system by spreading the word ( mass sprite control ). Only to end on a cliffhanger after the super virus was taken care of.
Weeds
Lost.
Once Upon A Time
Neither those watching the show, not those writing the show, had any idea how to keep that show on the rails.
Agents of Shield.
S1 and 2 Sort of a normal seasons - agents dealing with powered people, the fall of Shield S3 Space travel for a bit, more Inhumans S4 Ghost Rider, ghosts and stuck in a computer dystopian nightmare S5 Time travel S6 Space travel S7 More time travel
they were doing too much in that series lol, it was all over the place.
There is a phrase for that, it’s called “Jumping the Shark”.
Watched that! People really were sweating the Fonz’s fate. :)
The Walking Dead. It just became a generic human vs human thing after a while. Then Negan, and then back to boring TV
Lost
I still hate that show for making me sit through 7 seasons or whatever of cliffhangers and then answer none of them
I didn’t bother watching it all. I don’t remember exactly when I gave up on it, but I think it was maybe season 4 or so. I completed whatever season I was on and never really laid off back.
J J Abrams doesn’t do plots
he ruined trek, by setting precedents of his show(lens flare, flashy scenes, ,etc) for nutrek which was captured by the horrid showrunner kurtzman.
Family Matters
Show went from a wholesome sitcom about a family in Chicago to whacky borderline scifi. It was a spin-off of Perfect Strangers and just started going off the rails like around the 4th season when they retconned the existance of the one daughter Judy. Then by the end it just became the Steve Urkel show.
Possibly cheating, because anime, but Shokugeki no Soma (Food Wars). Initially a series following the protagonist as he entered a school where every dispute was settled with a cook off between two students (and sometimes a teacher). This seems over the top, but the food was always solid (they had a consultant just for it) and felt like something you could make with the right skill and ingredients.
In the final arc, they toss this all out to introduce a villain who can steal a chef’s signature dish/technique (something that is supposed to be unique to that chef) he gets a hold of their knife after winning a food battle. And he can wield those knives in any combination to form new dishes no one else can do. Just because. Also the dishes get less interesting in general, because it’s about powers related to cooking and not the food.
The 100
Totally agree and I love it for that, the shit that happens in that show is wild.
I loved it and was totally on board until the last season. As soon as it stopped being “science” it lost the appeal
I get what you mean, but tbf, it just continued the theme of “science beyond your comprehension is magic”. And that theme is present throughout pretty much the whole show. But yes, the final season was much more heavy handed with that stuff. And Bellamy’s character? Oof.
im not even sure if I watched all the seasons of that show and im not sure I have to will to find it and figure out if I have ones to still watch. I have that with elementary as well and it was overall a better show.
