Too many “what got cancelled too soon” questions, what’s a show that went on too long?

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

    I agree, season 9 gets way too much hate for basically being season 1 of a spinoff. There’s a lot to like there and it never really had a chance to find itself before cancelation.

      Yeah. The cast was actually stacked in hindsight.

      I think Kerry Bishe was already “known” to be good, but she has gone on to be one of those “top tier b-list performers” that make other movies and shows “work”. Mosley has consistently been an excellent comedic actor in the years since. Dave Franco got his job because of his abuser brother but is actually a decent actor with good comedic timing. And Eliza Coupe was mostly inherited from the previous season (which makes even less sense in the context of the show…) but has been in a similar “strong supporting actor/actress” vibe.

      If the premise hadn’t seemed to be built around actively angering the audience of the previous show, this could have become another 4 or 5 season show that people loved.
