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 actually hate the trend towards shorter form content, but I’ve definitely enjoyed a few though.

      For me it’s less to do with a shorter run and more to do with series getting a proper ending instead of the story being left unfinished.

      Based on the books 3 Body has a lot of show left…

      Or did it get the ol’ Netflix cancelation treatment

        A quote by the creators said ‘at most 4 seasons’ so maybe there will be one more.
