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

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

    I forgot about The Blacklist, I’m always so surprised when I hear it’s still going on! Seriously, season 1 might be one of the best crime dramas of the 2010s, everything that I watched after that (through season 3) was awful. Apparently Red is the main woman’s dad? And her mom??? I have no idea

      Honestly, how is it still going? I watched the first couple of seasons and it was already being held up entirely by James Spader, with everything around him being sort of bearable.

      Fun fact, my wife and I now use the term “Blacklisting” for whenever a show has already explicitly revealed something to you (or made it so obvious you worked it out), but then there’s a scene where the main characters stand around and talk through that plot point in ELI5 language. That was like at least a third of the screen time.

          I gave her slack because I figured new actress, first big job, they will get comfortable. Nope. If anything, she gets worse. The husband character became interesting! When they wrote her off, I looked, took a sip of coffee, and said “welp. Anyway.”
