I will never again lament that a show didn't find closure before cancelation.

We were really liking Ragnarok (Netflix), but when it was clear thege wouldn't be a fourth year, the writers threw together the worst, most unsatisfying, rushed, cop-out conclusion. Ever. Like, GoT season 8, but worse. Like they collectively said, "cancel us? Then fuck you!"

I honestly wish I'd have quit in the middle of S3. Not knowing would have been better.

Cliffhangers are worse, honestly. They demonstrably don't help nowadays. Ending a season-long arc is a great place to leave people wanting another... whether or not you get another. Ending that arc in the first episode of next season is a middle finger to most audiences.
