Do you prefer shows that have an ending in near sight or series that seem to never end?

[HawkPerception]

I honestly love really long shows that seem to never end. They give me something to look forward to and give me a feeling of nostalgia because you get attached to the characters and the plot. I don't mind watching shows that you can finish in a few days of binge watching, but it's nice to have be able to look forward to the next day knowing it will continue. What are your thoughts?

Really long shows that never seen to end

Shows with an ending in near sight

A lot of my favorites are episodic rather than serial like The Outer Limits and Star Trek: TNG. I like self-contained short stories like that where each episode is a complete little story and ends on a satisfying note.

If it's serial though, I don't like ones that go on and on. I think something like 3 seasons is a sweet spot for me depending on the show.

Or it really depends on how much they can keep the momentum going. If they can seem like they're progressing at a steady and decent pace towards a gradual culmination, then I can tolerate a lot of seasons. Yet if they're starting to seem padded out with lots of filler, I don't like serial shows like that even if they only have a few seasons.

I prefer shows that last long and seem to last forever. I like short ones, too, but only if they complete the story. Oftentimes, a show will be axed before it finishes.

I agree entirely man

[HotLentilzzz]

If its a good show then I never want it to end. But a good writer/director knows how to close one story and open up another seamlessly within the same show and the same “world” of the show, and it’ll never get old.

[HawkPerception]

Agreed entirely

[Iron_Man]

Beat out

I dont think most shows should survive past 3-5 seasons. Incant stand how long Friends and Greys Anatomy went on

[JustinTheGreat]

I don’t have the attention span for long series. I barely have it for short series either at this point.

its really hard for me to finish a show. Even if I enjoy it. I usually just get distracted with other shows or movies and then I forget about it.
So I prefer when a series is shorter. Shows usually aren’t good anymore past the 4th or 5th season anyways. At that point it’s just dragging on

[PeachyPie93]

Short. Long ones tend to drag out and mess things up the longer they go on for I rather it be short and sweet lol

[blueonblack22]

Depends on the show. I think some people wouldn’t mind 20 seasons of breaking bad if the writers were good enough to keep it creative.

I like when I can't even tell time has passed by...

[SotiCoto]

Long series with a very clear ending.

Both short series and series that never end are frustrating for completely different reasons.

[Iron_Man]

Like General Hospital over 60 years running that’s got to be an all-time record. It be out gunsmoke

[TheSpider]

I like comfortable shoes that fit and don't have holes in them...
