Everything gets cancelled, it has really stopped me from watching shows all together.

I'm tired of unfinished story plots etc in so many shows

I hope there is a trend towards standalone seasons like Fargo. Hard to get excited for shows that might get canceled or have 2+ years gaps between seasons unless I've already read or am planning to read the completed source material, so I'm not depending on the show for a conclusion.

Fargo is standalone-ish

Ive watched some of them and didn't even realize how they're all connected.

It's not a straight up anthology, it's not a continuous show, but I'm definitely going to do a rewatch and pay attention again to see how much I missed

But yeah, if a show is based on a book, I'm reading the books in the 2+ year gaps between seasons.

I've had it with TV, so many good series that get canceled early often leaving a cliff hanger that clearly would have been explored on the next season.

Dude needs to take a rest. He had a heart attack during Better Call Saul and then jumped right into another series lead after it ended.

I couldn't get into it. I was going to try again but....I guess not anymore.

It was such a good show. I’m really disappointed.

Bummer. I really liked where they were going with his character

I'm not massively surprised about this. I watched the first season and my best take was it's okay, it had some good moments and the characters were well developed, but I just didn't think it was quite as funny or sad interesting as it could have been.
