No, not just you.

Tieing up a series seems to be the hardest thing. Quite often I really enjoy a show right up until the last 30 minutes / full episode. Writers can pull you along but the real art, so it seems, is bringing it all together in a really satisfying way. It seems to have happened quite often with a number of recent shows.
Agreed - as the credits rolled, me and Mrs Hogie looked at each other and wondered...

You're not wrong there seems its a lot easier to write the cliff hanger than it is to conclude the story. I was huge underwhelmed by the quite drab ending yet had hugely enjoyed it right up to the last 20mins.

Have you watched Breaking Bad, both me and the wife couldn't stop watching it, and she doesn't usually watch a lot of tv series.
Most overrated thing on tv I have ever watched. Found it unbelievably boring and slow.

No, it's more of the same. The wife struggles with more than an episode a night.

Cheers, I know where your wife's coming from, I won't put a spoiler in in case anyone wants to depress themselves and watch the first series but I hope the story reaches a vaguely uplifting conclusion.

I'll be honest about Breaking Bad...I struggle to watch and feel uncomfortable with anything that has story-lines mired in drug manufacture, dealing and abuse - and the violence, misery and deaths that result. I'll watch documentaries to understand - but it's not really the sort of stuff I will watch for entertainment.

Watching some escapism....Black Lightning and Supernatural.
We watched the first few episodes when that came out and I thought it was absolutely shocking. :LOL: The actors for the mum and for the moustache guy were so wooden. And what is his outfit all about?? Looks like it was drawn by a 9-year-old with some highlighter pens.

Are you sure you were watching the right program?? The character development over only five series was phenomenal. :unsure:
Yup 100% sure forced my way through 4 seasons as kept getting told it gets better, but for me it was still one of the most boring things I'd ever watched.

Go and wash your mouth out with soap. One of the best things ever on tv and a perfect ending. Next you will be saying Line of Duty is crap.
