7 TV Shows Which Went on for Too Long

True Blood – 7 Seasons

Bold, provocative, uncanny and at the same time agreeable to the wide audience – True Blood started with a big basket and it filled it to the brim – Emmy's, Golden Globes, Audience's choice awards and a lot more. The only thing its missing is a Golden Penis and it would suit it so.

 

Sookie Stackhouse is a waitress in a small town who can read thoughts. In her world, vampires have come out of the shadows and have started to live alongside humans but in the forgotten old town of Bon Temps – they remain aside from worldly events. Not for long, though. The vampire Bill Compton moves there and it turns out that he's the only one who's mind Sookie can't read.

Against all logic, the two of them fall in love. But their romance is constantly under the attacks of problems and threats no one else can deal with – vampire wars, werewolves, maenads, ferries, witches and all sorts of other freaks come running towards the small town.

Unfortunately, the quality drops quite a bit here as well. The first three seasons are excellent, the fourth one lacks a bit of something but is still quite watchable, but the fifth, sixth and seventh – the situation is tragic. The characters become a parody of their own selves, the stories are no longer interesting and the sex and blood are becoming an old and boring means to keep viewers attention.

The finale of the show, instead of being explosive and grand, just admitted that the show had withered and put an end to the torture of the few viewers who had not given up on this show.
