Is there a TV series you regret watching purely because of how long it was, and overall, how unsatisfactory it was when it finished? (piefed.social)

For me, it was The Walking Dead. It obviously suffered seriously quality decline over its run - but because it was so long, I could've instead watched so many other shows instead.

While I didn't enjoy the ending, I did appreciate that they stuck with an unconventional choice.

Most stories would have introduced some Deus ex Machina that would have saved the main characters. They really went for it with "No, we're the problem. We've always been the problem. There's really just one solution."

Yeah that's unconventional.. But unsatisfying.... And it makes all the other seasons basically a waste of time because they now have never happened
