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 Tenth Kingdom

    Arabian nights

    And

    The worst week

    Are all killer 4-6 episode masterpieces.

    ‘Fawlty towers’, ‘Stan vs. evil’ ‘galavant’ and 'better off Ted ’ are all shows that are 2 seasons or fewer that I highly recommend.

    (Of course there’s also ‘Firefly’)

    And ‘the good place’ will make you feel like you’ve only been watching it for a few hours, though it’s 4 seasons long. An absolutely amazing story.

    I also really enjoyed that HBO series ‘Perry Mason’ at least for the first series, I haven’t seen the second yet. It’s pretty invested though

      with firefly he did end the plotlines (brutally so in some cases) with the movie. Oh still so sad. dollhouse was not bad to and they got enough of a heads up to wrap it up.
