Search Party - Murder mistery in the beginning but something completly different in the end (don‘t want to spoil), it‘s a ride…

...but in a good way. That's what I'd like to hear about.

(edit: Dr Who would appear to be one such example)

Fringe. Started as a clone of the X-Files, then devolved into the most random, convoluted alternate universe and time travel madness. One should have seen that coming:

Created by J. J. Abrams Alex Kurtzman Roberto Orci

gross, dint know abrams and kurtzman was involved, i can see what they did with NUTREK , so it made sense. STD, SNW, PICARD at covoluted plots til the end of the season, which turns out to be a letdown. actual star trek wasnt written that way.

Battlestar Galactica, the potential cancellation made some whacky shit happen

[–] dkppunk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I agree and this one made me really sad, that show was so good. The turn that Battlestar Galactica took was caused by the writers strike back in the day. That strike unfortunately impacted a lot of good shows (Heroes was another one) and pushed reality TV onto us because no writers were required for a script. IMO, it had a pretty severe negative impact on what and how we watch things today. It was a crappy time for tv.

I still stand by the writers though and supported them striking at the time.

Znation. And it was glorious

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Z Nation was filmed around where I was living and going to school!. It was a lot of fun "omg I know that building that's where I stole a cool looking book, that's the field I'd hang out in for lunch" but with zombies and whatever other insanity they had going on. One of my neighbors was a hairdresser for them too and wanted to buy my hair off me if I ever cut it but sadly the show ended before I did. One of my life regrets I didn't just offer up my hair on the spot it could have been famous

smallvilled. once lois lane was introduced. which made no sense to happen in smallville before he was a reporter and then that was about when lex went from being a sorta walking the edge antihero to villian which sorta ruined the schtick. Honestly lex luther was the main character to me in the show.
