Do you ever start a show knowing it was cancelled? (lemmy.ca)

I recently watched HBO's The Time Travelers Wife full well knowing there was only one season. I think I mostly regret it. I loved the show, and knowing there won't be any more to watch has bummed me out for the past week. I can't remember feeling this way about any other show - it sucks.

It depends. If it ends on a cliffhanger I will probably skip it. The real trick is trying to find out if a show ends on a cliffhanger or if it wraps up, without spoilering yourself.

I'm shocked that a site for this doesn't already exist.

Just the IMDB record for the show, and yes/no/"yes but it's a decent send off"

Yeah I mean the Time Travellers Wife didn't really end in much of a cliffhanger. I just know the book had so much more story and Sambit I want to see the rest of it!

But for sure a cancelled show with a cliffhanger ending would be a hard no for me as well.
