When I approach a new TV series the first thing I try to check is understanding if the series is "complete" or if it has been cut (canceled without a proper ending). Because watching a series and discovering that we may never see a proper ending is soooo bad.
So I was wondering if a thread about this may be useful here: you may list series and for each of them indicate if they are complete (i.e. the story is more or less wrapped up) or not.
I know in certain cases it is debatable: for instance, I liked Threshold and when the series was canceled at the very first season the writers glued some kind of ending to it which... kinda worked. Yet, it was considered as "completed", so in cases like this a NO SPOILERISH explaination would be useful.
While, for instance, I consider Battlestar Galactica (the reimagining), Taken and Breaking Bad as fully completed series.
If you list series in this thread, please:
- Write the series title properly and highlight it in bold, avoiding abbreviations or acronyms. So "How I meet your mother" and not "HIMYM". So that people may easily search of a series in this thread.
- Avoid spoilers.
- No, really, avoid spoilers. If you write an open spoiler in this thread the CurseBot will apply a very bad atzec curse on you. If you have to discuss an ending (or an "ending") use the Spoiler tag.
- This is not a plot discussion thread or, in general, a discussion thread about series, so please stick to the "I wonder if this series is complete or not" thing here and discuss a specific series in a proper thread.
- Of course, ongoing series are neither complete nor "cut", they are just "ongoing" and should not listed here (if you list them as "ongoing" then you should later update this and the thread become a mess...). So, just add serie that actually ended, in a way or another.
. Anthologic Series such as "Black Mirror" or recursive series like American Horror Story (in which every season is a self contained story) are always considered "Complete", unless drastically "cut" in the middle of a story arc.
I guess that's it. :)
