15 TV Shows That Couldn't Handle Their Own Hype
Too much popularity, sadly, is a thing, as these shows prove that.
They were pretty good when they were just some niche entertainment, but when more and more people started learning about them, all hell broke loose, and not in a good way.
When the show reaches a broader audience, the showrunners start trying to cater to it, and the original concepts, ones that kept the show niche, may get diluted.
Supernatural moved from being a creepy and almost horror show to focusing more on the drama than on terrifying exorcisms.
Game of Thrones ditched being a coherent and meticulously crafted dark fantasy story and became deliberately edgy and full of cheap tricks. Seeing the show that you loved in its early seasons for its uniqueness deteriorate into something significantly more bland and easily acceptable by a wider audience has been happening for quite some time, and every instance hurts like the first one.
Some sequels, released as pure cash grabs, destroyed the charm of the original work. Some franchises, sadly, were buried under the huge ambitions of their creators who decided to ditch their core ideas in favor of the things that seemed more exciting for the bigger crowd.
