Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?

Westworld. First season was perfect and it concluded perfectly fine.

still can't believe they changed season 2 because someone guessed it online what a bunch of morons, have lost all interest once I learned about that. have never watched season 2

For real? How was it supposed to end?

We don't know. But they did literally say this in interviews, that the story changed because someone guessed it. Like, how transparent can you be about having no vision for your show.

I just watched season 4 and I believe the plot is good. It adds to the overall arc.

Problem is that after season 1 the show runners decided to make it even more mindfucky. It became an exercise in intellectual masturbation and got convoluted for the sake of being convoluted. Shame.

I only watched season 2 and I found it terrible. To me the conclusion will always be season 1's finale.

I feel like they could have developed more stories in Westworld alone before taking the storyline where they did. I knew bad things were coming when they brought in the new manager. She was nice enough but she didn't have that duplicitous edge. She was in over her head and I couldn't see past that.

But then people would be listing westworld in all the "what shows needed more seasons" threads.
