With tv being notorious for abrupt cancellations of shows, and this remaining the case with streaming, I’ve started focusing more on Limited Series (or mini-series). If you’re like me and had no idea what Limited Series meant at first, it’s basically a series with a fixed amount of episodes and, at least for those I’ve been enjoying lately, a guaranteed ending.

A few examples:
The Queen’s Gambit
Haunting of Hill House
The Pentaverate


What about you, have you found yourself going the same way with shows, and if so what are some you might recommend?

    I completely agree. I highly recommend watching Band of Brothers and skipping the Pacific. Good choice on Haunting of Hill House. I love that episode with the long uncut camera shot (Two Storms). I’ll check out the other two.

      Although they were only meant as examples, I have honestly enjoyed each of those I mentioned. I think they give a good idea of the variety to be found between something more thought-provoking, some horror, and something silly.
