It’s not unusual to become attached to a television show.
As each season comes to an end, you close your laptop and begin counting down the days until the next season.
Until… you don’t.

With that in mind… brace yourself and grab a tub of ice cream.

I will definitely miss Veep, have really enjoyed it. One show that is desperately overdue for the chop is Law & Order SVU, it has become cringeworthy & unwatchble the last 3 or 4 years.
I have watched some Seasons of Game of Thrones. I have watched all of Gotham's episodes and have watched most of Elementary. The rest of the shows in the article... I have never seen and some never even heard of. I will be sad to see the end of Gotham and The Mother of Dragons from Game of Thrones. Gotta love a good/bad Dragon! I was hoping Gotham would show us Bruce Wayne become a fully fledged Batman.
