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?

    It’s sound logic, but it looks like Netflix don’t always buy / commission limited series - it’s also just a label they slap on something when they’re not going to renew it (e.g. fans were able to see that Bodies was cancelled, without an official announcement, because the tag was added later.)
