Have you ever quit on a show after one of its season finale?

Weeds season 7 finale.
I just pretended that the shot at the end blew Nancy's head off. Perfect ending for the show.

The Killing season 1. Fuck that show.

I lost interest in The Americans after season 1. I don't hate it, just apathetic towards it.

Heroes season 2.

House season six. That's how I wanted the series to end and I didn't want to watch House inevitably screw things up.

Homeland Season 2.
But it was indeed the sum of all the shitty season.

i usually stop after a season finale or after the first 4 epsodes.

I'm on the final episode of the first season of Big Love, and I'm really not sure if I should continue.

Can anyone vouch for season 2 or the rest of the series?

Sons of Anarchy Season 3.

I got so tired of all the contrived conspiracy bullcrap that the
pseudo happy ending ... (I forget exactly what happens. Jax gets his son back or something?)
felt like a good stopping point.

I stopped watching Lost after the first season because I could tell the writers had absolutely no fucking clue where they were going.

Nah.

I'm the kind of person who wants to see most things to the end. Even if I stop watching/reading/playing something, as long as it's at least I little interesting, I'll go back to it and see it to the end.

I still need to finish off Dexter, even though I keep hearing the last season is fucking terrible.

Homeland season 3. The second season was a definite step down from the first, but there were still bright spots and I thought they could go something interesting with it. Season three just threw all the goodwill away that I had after that second finale. The way they handled Brody's character at the end -- awful. Done with that show.

This is one of the best examples.
I remember the news of the actor who plays Matthew leaving the show and how the final episode was spent wondering if this was the moment he would die. Is he going to poisoned here. Is he going to be run over by a train. Nope, random car crash.

Lost. Almost. Season 4 finale. I stayed up late and got beer and everything and I was so underwhelmed. I came on GAF to a LTTP Lost thread though and everyone encouraged me to persevere through Seasons 5 and 6. Turned out to be good advice because there were some damn good episodes leading up to the finale and I enjoyed the ending to the show.

I think I was right to question progressing at the end of Season 4 though. The show went through a steep quality decline from it's first two fantastic seasons and never really recovered.

Whatever season of Alias involved a time skip. Because fuck time skips.

Whatever season of BSG involved a time skip. Because fuck time skips.

Also season one of Lost, even though it didn't involve a time skip. Just because.

Bingo. If you stop watching just before the finale, that show has a decent level of finality & weight. Then they just toss it all away.

LOL. So much hate for The Killing. Season 2 is awesome, y'all missed out.

Season 4 of Downton Abbey is indeed dreadful so you guys made the right decision. I have no choice but to keep watching cuz my wife likes the show :(

I believe I quit Downton Abbey over the same finale that you did actually.

Wow. I actually had this in mind when I clicked the thread but I didn't expect anyone to post it. Too bad SAO Season 1 part 2 took a nosedive after the ending but I agree 100% with you.

Heroes season... 3, I think it was? When Nathan died and then they had Sylar transform into Nathan and gave him Nathan's memories for some reason. I'm not even gonna spoiler that, everyone deserves to know how goddamn stupid that show got.

Probably the most recent "high-profile" one for me was Season 3 of Glee. As far as I'm concerned the series ended when Rachel walked off into NY.

I haven't bothered with True Blood this season. Not because of anything particular about last year's finale, but because it's just shit

That was the beginning of the best storyline in the series. You missed out

Falling Skies. Last season. The show just kept going further and further off the rails. I even overlooked the fact that an entire season was set in Charleston, SC (my town), has a major cast member that is FROM Charleston, and looked absolutely nothing like Charleston. Which was hard, because it was really distracting. But the show just kept getting worse and worse. And based on what I've read about this season, I don't regret jumping ship.

I quit taking Dexter seriously in it's final season but kept watching, I just treated it as a comedy instead of a drama.

Dexter Season 5 finale.

I thought the season 4 finale was great and stuck around for another year. After it was apparent that the writers didn't know what to do afterwards, I stopped watching.

Seriously, I laughed so hard at the final scene with Dexter facing the camera. You might as well add a sad trombone while you're at it.
