Limited series are my go-to now. Sometimes they extend them, but they typically have nothing to do with the previous season, and often suck because it's forced. But all the best shows I can recall watching the last decade or so are limited series. Fargo 1, 2, and now 4, The Night Of, True Detective 1, White Lotus, the Night Manager just to name a few. Most TV shows that run season to season don't have good endings because they don't plan for them to end. They plan to leave loose ends to make you come back, and then when it's cancelled it feels rushed and unfulfilling.
