Limited series have become my new go-to with shows (lemmy.world)

With tv being notorious for abrupt cancellations of shows, and this remaining the case with streaming, I've started focusing more on Limited Series (or mini-series). If you're like me and had no idea what Limited Series meant at first, it's basically a series with a fixed amount of episodes and, at least for those I've been enjoying lately, a guaranteed ending.

A few examples:
The Queen's Gambit
Haunting of Hill House
The Pentaverate

What about you, have you found yourself going the same way with shows, and if so what are some you might recommend?

Baby Reindeer. One of the top rated new shows from 2024.
