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.

I'm not pissed off if they wrapped things up at the end decently enough. You kind of have to deal with it when watching older television.

The problem I have is if it ends on a bad cliffhanger or it just gets really bad in the end.

Yeah I think Dexter and Game of Thrones were both two great shows that will forever be tainted by less than fantastic endings.

It's crazy to me how the last season of GOT almost entirely removed it from the zeitgeist. But like, I get it.
