    Lost

    It was a HUGE deal when it was airing, only to be undone when everyone realized the show’s title was not describing the characters. It was describing the show’s writers.

      Lost was one of the first of the show got too big too famous too much of a cash cow it was forced to drag on instead of just end in a way that makes sense. Eventually they just literally run out of ideas that make any sense.

      We see that now with streaming. Show does a banger season 1, probably could end with a banger season 2. Series milked for 4 or 5 seasons to the point the original fans no longer even watch it.

        Kind of, they also refused to pay the cast so they kept killing off characters that should have been around for different plot lines. Was hard for the writers to keep up with execs fucking them over and still have a cohesive story.

        Probably not an uncommon experience it film and tv
