Masters of None
The first 2 seasons came out only within 2 years of each other. They ended it on a literal cliffhanger. Aziz then said in an interview he wasn't sure there'd be a 3rd season because "he wasn't sure how to talk more about living in your 20s". Which...okay but what about the cliffhanger you ended your show on? You have no idea how to talk more about that?
Then of course we probably know what happened in his personal life. So if that just caused the show to get cancelled that would've been one thing.
However 3 years later Netflix brought it back anyway...but focused on Lena Waithe's character. Now if they decided to just distance themselves away from Aziz and focus on Lena that would've been another thing. But then they brought Aziz back for two episodes anyway and, in the first episode he's in, they act like Dev, his character, didn't have his career in jeopardy by being entangled in his co-star's sexual harassment allegations yet, despite that, might have a chance with his love interest, Francesca, by having a scene where he visits and they talk about his career as if he's still a struggling actor whose never had any success, never mention the whole sexual harassment allegations with Bobby Cannavale's character, and suddenly has this new girlfriend we've NEVER MET and they don't mention Francesca or what happened to her AT ALL.
I'm sorry but you can't end on a cliffhanger and then just ignore the plot points YOU SET UP as if they NEVER HAPPENED. If they had no ideas on how to actually continue Dev's story THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BROUGHT HIM BACK!
