Yes, you occasionally get films that don’t finish properly, like Terminator: Genisys. I’m still waiting, Bryan Fuller! It’s been TEN YEARS, but I’m still waiting!īut when it comes to other forms of entertainment, such as movies, books or videogames this issue isn’t quite as prevalent.
So there are a great many popular shows, such as Westworld, Supergirl, The Handmaid’s Tale and The Americans, that I flat out refuse to watch. Yes, this means that I can’t keep up with the average water-cooler conversation, but I feel it’s an acceptable sacrifice in order to guarantee that when I start a watching a TV show, I will be delivered some form of closure. And in this age of peak TV, where television shows are barely given a chance to succeed before being cancelled, it’s all the more important for me to be ridiculously choosy. Nothing irritates me more than an unfinished story. If you’ve been a long time reader of my blog, you’ll know that I have a special rule when it comes to watching TV shows: “ I will not start a show until its entire run is finished.”
