    I'm very unsure where I should rank shows that reached extreme heights, but later fell off. Game of Thrones S1-5 and Stranger Things S1-2 are unbelievably good, but I greatly dislike the seasons after those. Whenever I rewatch Dexter, I really just want to see the first four or five seasons, and then I stop.
    I have the shows ranked pretty highly, but I feel like they'd be ranked a lot higher if they'd just been cancelled, instead of fucking up their run.

      Editing … Game of Thrones is an especially rough example because so many setups in the early seasons serve as reminders of the monumentally disappointing payoffs. Like when Ned says "Next time we meet, we'll talk about your mother," I want to gag over how little it mattered in the end. "I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want...." NONE OF US WANTED ANY OF THIS SHIT JON, SHUTUP!!!!

      Editing … This is difficult. A lot of shows are like that. Lost as well had a fantastic first few seasons but later the quality just dropped. I have high hopes for Severance though. season 2 still has not arrived yet but the first season is by far the best writing and world building I have ever seen. It is so meticulously crafted. The writer demanded that he should know how many seasons he had to work with which could help prevent a drop off at the end of the show. That should always be the case. To tell a good story you should know how to space it out.

      Editing … Used to be more shows than not had lousy final seasons. Networks would just keep their shows running until the writers ran out of ideas. Lost was originally supposed to be four seasons but ABC just got too horny for those ratings. Happy Days is reason we say "Jumping the shark." It's nice that when we get invested in a show these days there's a high chance of a satisfying conclusion.

      Editing … Klem, you oughta see From. From is the new Lost. It's not as good as Severance, but it's just like reliving Lost.
