Not really. Pretty much just move on at this point. TV shows are setting themselves up for failure. Got tired of waiting around for Rick and Morty and gave up on it. Got tired of waiting for Mob Psycho 100 or One Punch and probably won’t bother going back. At least there is manga of that if I want to read it. Getting tired of overly complicated, long paused stories that wind up letting you down.

Usually, I wait until after a show is done and then go back to watch it. Been let down too many times by shows getting cancelled or going on hiatus or just straight failing in the last seasons. There’s so much choice of entertainment these days that I’ll just find something else. TV shows are just leaving legacy of letdown causing some of them to be only remembered for how they failed.

Look at what happened to Game of Thrones. Cultural juggernaut for a long time and now… just sour taste in most people’s mouths from having a bad end. I foresee this happening more and more until people just stop waiting around and find more complete stories or just other types of entertainment.

This is so sad, you missed out on the greatness of the ending of Mob Psycho cause you couldn’t be bothered to wait (and won’t go back now for whatever reason)

Same, I will add a new show to Sonarr and just let it download. Then I wait for a few seasons and check reviews. If it gets canceled without an ending I just go and delete it. If it gets a few seasons and it’s been granted a final season I will start binging while the last season is produced so I can watch the final with everyone else. If a show is canceled without an ending even if it had 5 seasons it goes straight to the trash.

I don’t waste my time with cliffhangers. Even if the ending is bad at least it ended. I wont be let down.

Recent shows that had great seasons and good ending was Sweet tooth, Doom Patrol, Future man.

Recent show that was pretty good up until the last season was Evil, hold shit that final was garbage.

Recent show that went right into the trash without a watch, Deadboy devices, Quantum Leap reboot, The Tick

Recent = last 10 years since it takes that long to wrap a show with 3 seasons it seems.
