ted lasso is the only truly good thing apple has produced since the power mac g4 and soon that, too, will quietly leave my life and get replaced with bland unrepairable garbage
i had just made a habit of watching it every week with my parents and last time my mom just sadly said "yeah there won't be another season". for once in my life i had actually felt committed to a tv show, one that i could watch with my family and i thought "well this show has good ratings and one of the writers was on sesame street so it should be safe" what the fuck was i thinking, of course public opinion doesn't matter here, silly me! i really didn't think it would happen to me because i don't normally watch tv in general but i commit to one show and turns out i am not immune to this phenomenon.
and older folks wonder why young people don't watch tv as much as they did. not a single show gets the time it needs to end naturally like it used to unless it's some dumb adult swim shit like rick and morty. then the creators force it to drag it the fuck on because it's so damn profitable. or it's a marvel series so they're innately boring and lifeless
or in the case of steven universe future, the creators know they're on thin fucking ice with the network so they only have a mini series to wrap up all of the loose ends in the show and end up making an ending that could have been fantastic but instead felt rushed. i love that show too but geez it really felt like they panicked the last few episodes
