Have you ever watched a series from start to finish, and by the time you got to the end, you're left thinking, “What happened?” Or even worse, you can't make it to the end because it's so bad. Well, these show critics did too. So here is a list of the top-voted shows that people are still not over because, quite frankly, the endings sucked.
1. Riverdale
One person who watched Riverdale said, “I think it's still on…I got into it and then dropped it like a hot rock when Sweet Pea came along. Also, I was convinced that Sweet Pea would introduce Popeye eventually and that Pop's Diner was some type of portal, and it would all be revealed they were in a comic book. I might have had too high expectations for Riverdale.”
2. The Blacklist
One user said, “The Blacklist fell apart because the entire theme was that conspiracies are going on behind the scenes that tie everything together, and the only one with insight into what that is, is Reddington. At some point, the writing became too much “making it up as we go,” and the illusion of an overarching machination started to fall apart, and so did the entire draw of the show.”
3. Pretty Little Liars
One person said, “The ultimate betrayal of that show was that the writers cheated. In shows like Pretty Little Liars, writers should be sophisticated and drop hints, clues, and red herrings. So when the BIG reveal happens, you are supposed to go, “OH MY GOD! HOW DID I MISS THAT? IT MAKES SOO MUCH SENSE NOW.”
They concluded, “But the viewer is always supposed to have at least the opportunity to figure it out. Instead, the writer's big reveal right at the end was a brand new character we had never heard of nor met before. That's awful lazy writing!!!!!”
4. Shameless
One reviewer posted, “I watched most of it and liked it, but don't recall finishing it.” Another viewer stated, “There's only so much wanton self-destruction that I can stomach, and that show hit my limit well before it wrapped.” Last, this person said, “At one point, the drama felt just so fabricated it stopped being interesting.”
5. Suits
A critic of Suits stated, “It was a show about two superhero lawyers in the early seasons. Then, somewhere along the line, they seemed to have forgotten the whole Mike never went to college plot.”
They continued, “Instead, every episode became ‘Let's have the entire cast scream at each other for 44 minutes.' Suits may have been the death of USA Network. Remember when they had Monk, Psych, Burn Notice, and Covert Affairs? Now they have Chrisley and Chicago PD reruns.”
6. Arrow
One burned-out fan of Arrow said, “Got tired of the main character flip-flopping from season to season. I felt he was hypocritical when he killed people in the first season and then hunted down people doing the same thing he did in the next, only to go back to kill people in the following season.” Another viewer of the show posted, “I got so far with all the Arrowverse shows, and then they all slowly became like a teen drama with Power Ranger budget fight scenes.”
7. Once Upon a Time
One person posted, “Can't even remember where I got to.” Another said, “Seriously. The first season was so incredible, beautiful storytelling, deep characters, and then it never recovered the original feel of season one.” Another agreed saying, “I feel like this was written to be a one-season and done series, then after the success, they couldn't let it go, so just kept going without any real plan.”
8. Grey's Anatomy
One person said, “How much trauma can a group of doctors go through? Sheesh!” Another viewer posted, “The shooting episode was done fantastically, really got at the tension of the situation, and you were terrified for the characters' lives.”
They continued, “When they started killing them off left, and right, it got old fast. It's a medical show. Just have them get another job; you don't have to kill characters to write them off.”
9. Orange Is The New Black
One analyst said, “Piper just got so unbearable to watch.” Another viewer posted, “I stopped watching it around then. Years later, my wife and I were out of things to watch, so we put that on.” Last, someone said, “When Poussey died, I was done with Orange is the New Black at that exact moment..”
10. The Walking Dead
One person said, “The Walking Dead never went anywhere. I wanted a conclusion, a solution, something new that wasn't killing and fighting other people. I wanted smart solutions, but they never arrived.” Another posted, “You made it farther than me. I stopped once I realized that the show would never decide if it wanted to follow the comics or do its own thing.”
11. House of Cards (2013-2018)
Viewers were obsessed when House of Cards first aired. The first couple of seasons were binge-worthy. Some say this series is secretly about the Clintons. But as the series went on and Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) became president, the series fizzled out. Of course, Kevin Spacey’s scandalous personal life didn’t help. One viewer says, “That was definitely the nail in the not finishing this coffin.”
12. Dexter (2006-2013)
For the series Dexter, one viewer says, “Dexter. Started off incredible then just tapered out getting worse every season.” Another person agreed, “Dexter was so good but seasons 5-7 were so bad I had to force myself to watch it just because I had to finish it. I was like I’ve put so much time into this, I can’t give up. Would not recommend.”
