There are numerous television shows that have appealed to audiences with their storylines but these shows have also disappointed with their later seasons. Here we have 10 TV seasons that ruined great shows.
Downton Abbey
This show is widely regarded as one of the finest British dramas on television. However, it is no secret that it declined following season 4. Season 3 witnessed the deaths of significant characters such as Sybil and Matthew. They brought a lot of heart and soul to the program, and season 4 struggled to recover from their absence.
Killing Eve
Diehard fans of this show, the innovative sapphic crime thriller, were outraged by the show’s disastrous turn in its last season, which featured a contentious TV finale that damaged the show’s legacy. The whole fourth season failed to reunite Eve and Villanelle, which was the show’s primary objective.
Supernatural
Eric Kripke, the original showrunner, intended for the show to conclude in season 5 with Sam’s sacrifice, leaving Dean to pursue hunting and maintain his brand of normalcy. Season 6 appeared extended and unplanned as a result of Season 5’s original finale.
The Vampire Diaries
This show, like many other series, lost its main character when Nina Dobrev intended to leave the program. TVD also tried to remain fascinating with only the Salvatore brothers as stars, but Elena’s loss was felt deeply because she was no longer the heroes’ guiding star. Season 6 destroyed much of the charm, even though the show tried to keep up with its genre.
Gossip Girl
Unfortunately, this teenage drama declined after its great debut, and the last season did a lot to bury the show’s legacy. Every character on the program behaved differently than expected, and several plotlines were just offensive to viewers.
Doctor Who
This show’s season 12’s Timeless Child plotline utterly undermined the show’s concept and was negatively appreciated by audiences. The Doctor’s first appearance on Gallifrey and his theft of the TARDIS are iconic, and inverting them added nothing to the tale in fact, they detracted from it entirely.
Riverdale
The third season saw the emergence of the bizarreness that has become synonymous with Riverdale. Its third season was a confusing muddle, and the showrunners struggled to keep the numerous plotlines unified.
Dexter
Dexter was one of the best serial killer dramas ever, but season 6 had unimpressive antagonists, an out-of-place religious theme, and an extremely predictable twist. It had minimal impact on Dexter’s character, and the program as a whole.
Heroes
Its first season was practically flawless, but the program fell apart in the second season. The storylines looked repetitive, with an apocalypse coming again, and much of the character growth from the first season was reversed in the second.
Game of Thrones
Season 8 of this show was easily one of the worst disappointments in television history, destroying villains who had been built up for years, leaving plots unanswered, undoing numerous actors’ character development, and providing an end befitting a less respected program. The whole last season was hurried, damaging one of the greatest series of all time.
