Really depends on you.

There are shows that you have to watch week by week... tough fucking luck when you like them aye?

Don't get me wrong, I have binged watched a lot of TV series that I liked watching in the past before Internet came about just to catch up, or because the local broadcasters stopped paying for the shows and you only experience 1 to 3 seasons (years) of that same show... thus... the internet has been a blessing to catch up on the last 12 years of the show while binging.

Again, it only depends on you... I will wait for certain shows to be completed and then Binge watch it, however, like game of thrones... everyone had to wait for the next episode etc.

It would be pretty great if they realized that cliff hangers piss people off more than they encourage watching.

If you don't know how to end a season/episode on a cliff hanger and don't know how to start a season/episode without a previous cliff hanger to resolve then why are you even a writer?


Well said. Unfortunately, lazy/bad writing probably resonates with the majority of viewers now. I’ve talked to tons of people who genuinely love season cliff hangers, which makes fuck all sense to me.

There are rare occasions where it’s warranted, or it’s done in a way which it resolves, but leaves the next season setup for something that’s been foreshadowed throughout previous seasons. The ones that really piss me off are the ones that are clearly after thought bullshit. Like throwing out a new villain who was really behind things the whole time (with absolutely nothing to substantiate that claim) or the ultra lazy kill off an Uber popular character, but leave their death open ended enough to make them think they’ll come back, which they ALWAYS do.

There are plenty of additional examples, but I’ve discussed this enough lol. I really hate this lazy bullshit

I mean, Lucifer was bad since S1 Episode 1, so there’s that. Out of sheer curiosity, what were the other shows you’re referring to?

Thee biggest one....
Ozark, the 2nd half of the ending just didn't have that spark.....
It didn't make u go woa.... like older finaleees on Ozark

And season 3 of You was very mediocre,

You season 1 and 2 were cool

N let's see if stranger things will drop the ball with the ending

Whoa... hang on there... so you are saying that the "writers" are "lazy and bad" at doing their job and they are getting PAID for it and IT has been PRODUCED and AIRED and YOU... call them "bad &/or lazy"????

Who the fuck are you? Are you a Script Writer? Are YOU involved in creating &/or writing these scripts and PAID for it?... NO, YOU are just pointing out YOUR point of VIEW based ON YOUR opinion OUT of THE recognised and PAID writers (yup they are bad)... but... yes BUT... YOU... YOUR OPINION... is VALID only to YOU and like minded (i.e. myself with some scrutiny).

Choose your wordings... YOU AIN'T SPECIAL when it comes to SCRIPT writing... YOU only have a one(1) PERSON view (yes, I agree with 20%, but you ain't all that unless you can create a BETTER original script that has NOT been introduced!!!)

I may have misread your post, but (big BUT) if you are referring to me (not saying you are) with my previous post... I can actually agree with you (if I was a lazy script writer for a show that you know.).

Now, if your post was in reference to the person I quoted, then I will have to say that you need to address them personally so that we (as viewers) get a better understanding of the script you seem to be posting with your comment that I have quoted.

Can you Flameyes enlighten us with your "Script" writing and divulge in the next episode???

EDIT: Don't reply... you are just following a script that I am writing by your writing in response, basically if anyone replies, they are just characters in a "real life online douchebag series"... but all viewed by their own comments... basically... if you don't respond, or others NOT respond, the show ends. Just like 90% of the shows on local TV.
