What's a show that should've gotten cancelled or ended SOONER than it did?
Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?
Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

I forgot about The Blacklist, I'm always so surprised when I hear it's still going on! Seriously, season 1 might be one of the best crime dramas of the 2010s, everything that I watched after that (through season 3) was awful. Apparently Red is the main woman's dad? And her mom??? I have no idea
Honestly, how is it still going? I watched the first couple of seasons and it was already being held up entirely by James Spader, with everything around him being sort of bearable.
Fun fact, my wife and I now use the term "Blacklisting" for whenever a show has already explicitly revealed something to you (or made it so obvious you worked it out), but then there's a scene where the main characters stand around and talk through that plot point in ELI5 language. That was like at least a third of the screen time.
And the main woman got killed.
To be fair, she was a terrible actress from the start. James Spader carried that whole show.
I wouldn't call her terrible, but yes, the show would be nothing without James Spader
I gave her slack because I figured new actress, first big job, they will get comfortable. Nope. If anything, she gets worse. The husband character became interesting! When they wrote her off, I looked, took a sip of coffee, and said "welp. Anyway."
