Season 4 of DEXTER, season 5 maybe to see the aftermath. The last 3 seasons were unnecessary.

Surprise motherfucker!
Episode IV. That's my hill.
NeuTrek. TNG squeeks by, but any Trek with a dysfunctional, corrupt Federation with a Black Ops team is out.
The West Wing, season 4. After Sorkin left it went to shit.
Ren & Stimpy was hit or miss, but really after the first season it fell off a cliff pretty fast.
Nobody's ever done an adaptation of Asimov's The Foundation Trilogy, which is too bad.
TLoTR had 3 movies; everything after has been just a shitty job of milking the success of the first 3. Which is too bad, because Cumberbuzzle was brilliant as Smaug.
Strange New Worlds is great Trek if you haven't seen it.
I have. It's not bad, despite my several grievances with it. Mainly the Gorn redesign as cheap knock-offs of Xenomorphs, that Kirk could never have hand-to-handed. And I really, really dislike the whole Spock/nurse Chapel story line. T'Pring was grossly mistreated, and it makes Spock's surprise at her behavior in Amok Time completely out of character: he knew what he did. I'm also not fond of jumping directly to musical episodes in so early; shows usually only do that when they start running out of other ideas. I had to fast-forward through most of that one. I was really unhappy about killing off... who they killed off. I would have preferred almost any other character be sacrificed if they really felt it necessary.
But all that said, there is a lot of good, and I'll keep watching it. I think my biggest gripe is that they picked SNW to continue, over Lower Decks‽ That was bogus; LD was a far better show.

Are you saying that Apple's adaptation isn't worthy of acknowledgment or are you not aware they've been producing it?
The what? Apple's never done an adaptation. Nope. Not Apple, that's for sure.
Honestly, though: brilliant graphics, design, and acting. The writers should all be taken out and shot, though.

S08 of Two and a Half Men, before Charlie died. It was okay after but just not the same anymore.
Season one of Twin Peaks. Never should have been a season two. I'm ambivalent about Fire Walk With Me. Season 3 was a nice touch.
Season 1 of Once Upon A Time. Its OK afterwards, but an awful lot of what made the show good was wondering whether it was real or if the kids a mad fantasist. Afterwards it's watchable but it's different.
The Gunslinger by Steven King.
He wrote some dark and towerry other books, but they're unrelated fan fiction
The last episode of Supernatural should not exist.
I watched this one late and saw all the talk online about stopping after season 5 or 6 whatever and haven't regretted my decision to follow that advice.

If we are going into books, the Hyperion series should have ended at 2. The first 2 books are so good! Books 3 and 4 are terrible.
