I absolutely hate as steaming services handle serieses.
Back, even a decade ago, when one watched a series in TV, we got 20-25 episode a season, and a new season each year...
And stories were finished. Even shorter ones, like the Stargate Atlantis, or longer ones, like Supernatural, all had a more-or less satisfying end, storiylines tied off, etc.
The limited series, based on one particular book were, by design, limited (we usually had those around 12 one hour episode), but a full story and we knew when starting that this is it.
Nowadays, we get 10 (or not even that much, 6-8 episodes in most cases) often many years going by between seasons, and so many of them are not only not finished, but hardly ever get really have their balls rolling.
See things like Shadow and Bone, however, it is not only fantasy TV, but The Great is an example, my personal pet peeve favorite Forever, or the latest victim The Wheel of Time.
Yes, I have seen and read a few essays on the topic, but so many see the problem, so many complaine about the problem, and nothing happens,
Stories are not given space and time to grow into their own, they are not finished, just cut off.
HATE it.
