Reply to How do you cope when a show you love has a badly written ending? by SiLeNtE000

I'm curious about what show you're talking about. For me, it's often about the journey and not the destination. Even if I don't love every part of a show, there's enough that I do enjoy. People rag on Dexter post-season 4, but I find enough that I enjoy that if I do a rewatch, I still watch 5-8. The bad endings get easier to deal with over time. If I never end up rewatching a show where I found the ending lackluster, I still choose to focus on what it was that I enjoyed in the run up to the finale.

Just enjoy TV man, stop looking at it as something to win or something to be accomplished. You're trying to deal with it because people you think it's only defined by the ending, it's the same way a generation of TV viewers only want shows they can watch in a week. They won't invest in a show unless it's already over. You feel like you need to cope because since the ending was bad you wasted your time. You lost TV when you could have been off winning with another TV show. Stop viewing TV that way, just enjoy the ride.

Reply to comment by LA_Dynamo in ‘Yellowjackets’ Season 2 Premiere Draws Nearly 2M Viewers, Breaks Showtime Streaming Record by MarvelsGrantMan136

Well, Yellowjackets is really good so far. Weeds and Californication are classics. I loved Happyish, Super Pumped, and Roadies. Waco & George and Tammy were good; Homeland had some good seasons, City on a Hill had some great writing etc., American Gigolo had a vibe, SMILF had its moments.

Reply to 'Wizards of Waverly Place' producer says Selena Gomez's character was meant to be LGBTQ, but they couldn't be explicit about it: 'We got as close as we could' by flowerhoney10

>During the show's five-year run, audiences saw Gomez's character have several male love interests, including werewolf Mason (Gregg Sulkin) and bad boy Dean Moriarty (Daniel Samonas).

>However, according to showrunner Peter Murrieta, things could have potentially turned romantic with another female wizard Stevie Nichols, played by Hayley Kiyoko.

>Speaking on Monday's episode of rewatch podcast "Wizards of Waverly Pod," Murrieta, who served as head writer and executive producer during the first three seasons, was asked by hosts and former "WoWP" stars Jennifer Stone and David DeLuise if there was a storyline he wanted to explore but never got the chance to.

>"Easy, easy, easy," he replied. "I wished we could have played more with what was quite obvious to a lot of us was the relationship between Stevie and Alex."

>DeLuise, who portrayed Russo family patriarch Jerry Russo, asked, "Nowadays that could happen, right?"

>"I mean, they did it. Disney Channel has had characters, and they did it," Murrieta said, referencing the animated series "The Owl House"
