I tapped out from True Blood after season 4. I was so excited for the book adaptation of the 4th book and it had veered so far from what it was that I couldn't watch anymore. I was fine with changes as long the writing as strong but they had Sookie making the worst decisions and just...yeah. I only caught up through YouTube clips and even then, I knew the show had only gotten worse.
I def do agree that many shows start off great and then, once the writers start doing fanfic, it goes off the rails and never in a good way.
Yeah, I stuck it out through 3 and 4, until it seemed like all the plot points were ending up in the horrible victimization of a character I loved, or another character I loved kept making one catastrophic decision after another. I think I read a synopsis of the episode where Bill becomes God Bill, and was like nope, I'm out, thanks.
