Plots That Absolutely Ruined A TV Show For People

Break Out

"Prison Break was a great concept for a show. But then once they broke out of prison they kept making the show."

"Fox doesn't know when to cancel a show. They either go for a season or two too long or they get canceled too early."

Too Weird

"Deb being in love with Dexter. I don't know what they were thinking."

"It was kind of pointless. If they brought it up in the first place, they should've run with it. Then, on their wedding day, Debra finds Dexter's slides."

"I can hear her now 'I was getting ready to marry my brother, but now I find out he's a f**king serial killer!!'"

GrandUnhappy9211

"Came looking for this. Weirdest plot choice ever."

Grievances

"We could fill this entire comment section with GoT grievances :/ "

DIWhy-not

"Season eight singlehandedly took one of, if not the most talked about shows at the time and made collapse into pop culture oblivion! Not a single person I knew or interacted with wasn't watching 'Game of Thrones,' I swear every other conversation looped back to that show eventually, but after S8 no one gave a sh*t about it."

Enganeer09

"There were so many, and this is so unpopular opinion, but Dany and Jon falling in love was just boring. I hope GRRM avoids it but I guess the chance for that is low. I mean, the chance he ever finishes another book for the series is low."

Over It

"The Blacklist writers almost cruelly withholding answers from the audience year after year after year."

"I gave up when Liz died and Dembe became an FBI agent, and the show was already dying before that for me. I loved watching James Spader's acting, but it got to the point that even that wasn't enough to keep me involved. I've heard it's in the final season now, so once it's over I'll just Google the ending and that's good enough for me."

Bad Changes

"Misfits when they started getting rid of the main characters from season 1."

"The second the group changed the show lost what made it great."

That show was delightfully strange and certainly fit its title.

Cast shake-ups can really zap a show of its magic... especially when the show itself is about super powers.

Oh Luke

"When they revealed Luke had a child he didn't know about in Gilmore Girls."

"Like I feel bad because she’s a kid, but I hate April. Such a terrible plot device. There was plenty going on without her coming into the picture."

Stop at the beginning

"When they left the park in Westworld."

Indian_Bob

"Unfortunately the writers were very keen to write a commentary on AI in society, and thus drove it in a direction, which as a show in itself is interesting, but went a lot further than the source material in this regard. There were two shows there and neither was done justice."

IHaveHivesWithBees

"I think Season 1 is one of the best shows ever made. It has everything: characters, story ark, riddle, and its closure and very good (just a bit open) ending. Other seasons are just an attempt of producers to milk the story and Id rather pretend they don’t exist."

Too Soon

"Sherlock f**ked up by killing Moriarty too early."

"Andrew Scott's performance was so great that they then had to keep trying to shoehorn the already dead Moriarty into later plots or end up with the travesty that was the last series with Sherlock's even smarter sister, who secretly cooked up everything with Mortiarty, just so they could have more Moriarty scenes."

"The whole show went from top-class Peak TV to absolute dogs**t in a slow decline that started with the poor Doylist decision to kill Jimbo."

A Re-Work

"The overall seventh season of Once Upon a Time. It should have been reworked in its entirety."

StillAnIntrovert

"I agree with that. Another bad point was when they made Emma the Dark One when they literally just introduced Lilly, who had the saviors' darkest potential."

"That could have been an epic villain as 'The Dark Savior.'" Also, them constantly having Rumple and Belle get back together. He was power-driven and would always put her second. I loved it in season 4 when she finally realized that and banished him from Storybrooke."

Many of these franchises jumped the shark, as they say.
