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?
The absolute best mini-series I’ve ever seen was Over the Garden Wall
I haven’t been nearly as taken by it as all the Internet expected me to be. What about it is so charming for you? I want to love it but I’m maybe… Halfway though? But I’m not even sure about that I just sorta forgot it and haven’t gone back…
It was definitely aimed at the high school/college age range when it released, which I was in, so there’s a decent amount of nostalgia fueling it. But there’s also the fine details, the bizarre characters, and interesting stories. The humor is also right up my alley. What really nails it home for me are the last few episodes.
Thanks for your take. I know it’s short so I’ll try and get back to the rest and see if it comes together for me.
