With tv being notorious for abrupt cancellations of shows, and this remaining the case with streaming, I’ve started focusing more on Limited Series (or mini-series). If you’re like me and had no idea what Limited Series meant at first, it’s basically a series with a fixed amount of episodes and, at least for those I’ve been enjoying lately, a guaranteed ending.

A few examples:
The Queen’s Gambit
Haunting of Hill House
The Pentaverate


What about you, have you found yourself going the same way with shows, and if so what are some you might recommend?

    I have found myself leaning toward series which have already concluded their runs. During the plague, I watched:

    • Breaking Bad
    • The Wire
    • The Sopranos
    • Justified
    • Bosch

    At present, I’m halfway through season 2 of Castle. Other shows I want to tackle are The Expanse, Chuck, and Burn Notice.

    I do like your idea of sticking to limited series. I think an anthology series would also be good to consider.

    For a limited series, Chernobyl is a good one to watch.

    For an anthology series, good ones to try would be:

    • Fargo
    • True Detective
    • American Crime Story
    • American Horror Story
