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.

This is a Korean show, but Bulgasal. K-dramas are already notorious for being long, and this was no exception. It was 16 episodes that were each 1.5 hours long. Dramas that revolve around a love story (ill-fated lovers on this one) have no business being that long. And the worst part is the last episode violated the entire show's lore rules just so it would be a happy ending.

Seinfeld, there's way more miss episodes than hit episodes. The peak is the middle few seasons, and even then it's 50:50 at best.

Is it worth watching for the first time, do you think?

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I'd say it depends on your tastes. If you like it's always sunny or arrested development then it might be worth it, and start with season 4 and go back if you really liked it. Otherwise skip it.

Supernatural - I watched the first 9 seasons, that was 9 seasons too many. The Expanse - I watched all of it, liked none of it.

Steven Universe.

Holy shit i missed some of the early hiatuses, but I'd argue the later ones were worse because of the direction the stories took. And coming back after months of nothing to a quartet of garbage pointless filler (yes Lion 4 is garbage) should've warned me to abandon ship.
