@martin-futter Kinda like a Game of Thrones situation then.
Will have to think about it before I start Lost then. Thanks for the heads up
I would never start Lost based on what I've read of the ending.
I watched them all. Bitterly disappointing. The trifecta. Lost, GOT, and LOD.
Haha me too. I was watching Gogglebox yesterday and the funny girl from Blackpool nailed it about Line Of Duty ending (and the others when you think about it) she said 'It's like they were told they had ten minutes to write an ending'.
I think with LOST they wrote a show that got so tangled up in a deep story that they didn't know how to end it in a satisfying way.
GOT ending was rushed because the author of the books has not even written the last two yet, so he just told them roughly what would happen and it had no depth because there was no real reference material to work with.
Not sure what happened with Line Of Duty, felt like they got six episodes in before being told they had to wrap it all up in one last episode, when they were expecting to have an eighth episode or something.

@richard-latimer LOST is still probably one of my top ten TV shows of all time despite the ending, virtually all of the other 120 episodes were really engaging, I love the flashback stories each episode of all the different characters before they were on the island it was such a clever concept.

@john-folan They hook us in with gripping story lines for season upon season then suddenly out of nowhere rip up that good storytelling for some sort of deep message instead of giving us a good dramatic ending. Loved every single one of those 3 and use them all as references when im working on videos and production, just feel cheated by the endings.
Yes and oh The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. Some great characters. Some brilliant set pieces let down with crap story telling. Thankfully Disney + putting a lot right. βTHE Bad Batch is brilliant

Only 4 seasons of 6 episodes so well easy to binge

@matt-wood still well worth watching, the characters and writing were ahead of their time.
It's actually rare for a series to end well, the best example I can think of is Breaking Bad which was just perfect in every way throughout and had a brilliant ending.
Seen Catastrophe? That was good.
No, Netflix? will add to the list

@matt-wood at least the ending can't be as bad as Lost this way (who the main guy was from)
Is the ending to Lost that bad? I have never watched but have it on my list.
