Discovery ending with Season 5

IMHO the problem with serialized shows is if you screw up the arc (particularly the ending) it spoils all of the episodes to a certain degree that you wouldn't get in an episodic show that farted out a stinker or two.

Whatever other issues DIS had, I think it's beyond question they did screw up the ending of Season 1.
Not the point I was making and you know it, I was talking to a kid, but okay.

EDITED TO ADD: On a larger scale (let's try to make lemonade out of a lemon anyway), the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica retroactively ruined the entire series for me for a little while. Now I just ignore that season and focus on the first two.

I've never understood this. If an episode is bad, arc or not, I skip it. Period. That doesn't keep me from enjoying the reason of a season. Daredevil Season 2 is the biggest example for me.
 
Std was canceled because it's not drawing people in to paramount plus. The original series was ahead of its time and spawned a billion dollar property over the last 50 years. No contest.
Didn’t know you were at the meeting
No, TOS was not ahead of its time. It was pretty much in keeping with its time.
Also, way to miss the joke.

Again it spawned what we gave today. Yes it was ahead if it's time for a TV show about space travel.
 
Uh yeah. Whatever you want to tell yourself to make you feel better about the cancelation.
I mean, the number of streaming series that get more than 5 seasons can be counted on one hand and all of them were among Netflix's first originals made before 2014.

Even as someone for who DSC did little for me, this isn't some big L for Kurtzman that it ended
Not missing much. It’s in your face woke agenda was offensive.
[Deep, exhausted sigh]

You know, I gotta give credit to the ENT bashers of the 2000s because most of them bashed that show for not being progressive enough in its writing.
