Have you ever watched a TV show and beenSOOOOdisappointed by a plot decision that you completely stopped watching altogether?!
Well recently,u/rayray1010posed this question,“What single plot decision ruined a good television series?“inr/AskReddit, and people had aLOTof hot — and debatably debatable — takes.
Oh, and needless to say, this post contains 🚨 SPOILERS 🚨.
1.“Every plot decision after Season 1 inRiverdaleruined the show. Why did the show become a random musical? It started off as a murder mystery that had potential!”

2.“Deb being in love withDexterinDexter. I don’t know what they were thinking.”
— wilmontcm
" And was n’t this plot lineafterMichael C. Hall andJennifer Carpenterdivorced ? Big yikes all around . "

3.“When they revealed Luke had a child he didn’t know about inGilmore Girls.”
— writtenrain
4.“Probably an unpopular opinion, but I hated the fact that they killed off Del at the end of Season 1 ofOzark. He was such a great villain, and even though you got more of him in flashbacks during Season 2, I still felt shortchanged. Also, giving the Snells more screen time really brought down the quality of the show.”
— Shaw - Deez
5.“When they left the park inWestworld.”
— Indian_Bob
" alas , the writers were very bang-up to write a commentary on AI in society , and thus drove it in a direction , which as a show in and of itself is interesting , but went a lot further than the source fabric in this regard . There were two shows there , and neither were done Department of Justice . "
— IHaveHivesWithBees
" Logically , it take a crap sense to move away from the park , but it alter the serial publication from a sci - fi psychological thriller to a generic action drama . "
— Burrito_Loyalist
6.“How I Met Your Mothernot re-filming the ending. That ending made zero sense and tossed out years of character growth.”
— DrunkMc
7.“Modern Familyjumped the shark way before this, but when Haley ended up with Dylan. So much character development wasted.”
— Low_Departure_5853
8.“Misfitswhen they started getting rid of the main characters from Season 1.”
" They should have terminate when Barry left in Season 3 . Storyline wise , it was a legitimately everlasting blank space to end the series . "
— discostud1515
9.“Scully onThe X-Fileshaving a baby. Max onRoswellhaving a baby. Rachel onFriendshaving a baby. Basically any time a character has a baby, it’s a sign that the writers have run out of ideas.”
— religionlies2u
10.“Any time a police procedural starts focusing on the personal lives of its main cast — which usually happens around the third or fourth season — you know the show is going to diminish in quality. If the show always had part of the focus on the personal lives of the cast, then it’s fine, but the second a show that’s all about the crimes and how they’re solved starts looking at the troubled marriage of the chief, the mysterious past of the lancer, the romantic life of the heart, or the troubled childhood of the brain, you know stuff is gonna suck sooner or later.”
— PunchBeard
" Bonesstarted out tear 20/80 between their life history and the plot , but by the end , that had basically rescind . "
— YodelingVeterinarian
11.“Time travel in basically anything that isn’t about time travel to begin with. I’m thinking specifically about the last season ofLucifer.”
— minnie12321
12.“The Blacklistwriters almost cruelly withholding answers from the audience year after year after year.”
— zsal830
13.“When the town of Agrestic burned down at the end of the third season ofWeeds.”
" The whole push / pull of Nancy Botwin — and of the whole premise of the show — was that she was a woman of the house / association football mom catapult drugs in the most cooky - cutter suburban town filled with the most vanilla extract , drill mass of all time . Thatwas what made the show .
But then , they have a fire ruin the town so that they could move the home out into the reality . But at that point , she ’s just a woman sell weed .
That ’s it . That ’s the whole assumption now . "
— DIWhy - not
14.“Literally the final scene ofKilling Eve.”
— benabramowitz18
" They also ruin Villanelle . Part of what made her so interesting in Season 1 was how dangerous and unpredictable she was . And I have it off how Eve tried to explore her tragic backstory in Season 1 , but it turned out that she was always awful . And then the later seasons , they tried to backpedal and show us how she was really a tragic victim . "

15.“Killing Logan in the final moments of theVeronica Marsrevival. Damn Rob Thomas.”

And finally, behold the literal plethora ofGame of Thronesopinions:
16.“Daenerys kinda forgetting about the Iron Fleet inGame of Thrones.”
— OB1KENOB
17.“WhenGame of Thronesstarted having entire armies wiped out with zero consequences going forward.”
" Pretty sure enough the Ironborn went extinct like three multiplication . Unsullied , kept losing numbers with no room to replenish them throughout the entire show , but still had enough to be a factor up until the very end . Dothraki were literally wiped out in the Winterfell battle , but somehow came back . Even the Lannister army got thrashed in the luggage train battle but was still vainglorious enough to defend all of King ’s Landing . "
— Hickspy
18.“Daenerys not just going straight to King’s Landing and burning the Red Keep down with her three dragons at night when Cersei was sleeping on her first night in Westeros.”
— JonA3531
19.“Game of Thronestripped over its own feet after they passed the books and just never stopped stumbling. Just the fact alone that the White Walker climax happened before the sacking of King’s Landing completely ruined any threads of suspense that the show still carried.”
" I 100 % trust the show could have been ( mostly ) redeem if it had been Cersei vs. White Walkers first andthenlet whoever come through that conflict duke it out with Jon Snow . alternatively , we get a delivery black episode where somehownothing at allreally happened .
