I've tried. It's really not a pleasant experience, as far as I'm concerned. I've always been terribly let down/screwed over by all "current" fandoms I've been in with the exception of Harry Potter, and even that was a tad disappointing. Closed fandoms are a lot better. Current stuff usually works a whole lot better if you watch/read it without fandom interaction.

(The exception is that if you are irritated by something within the canon of the show, an event or a character or a plot twist or whatever, a look around fandom is a great way to find another fan providing a thoughtful interpretation of the irritating element that might make you go "I never thought about it that way!" and enjoy it once again.)

I must agree. Maybe I just got hung up on the double Elementary&Sherlock fail, but I got burnt and I no longer want to watch the currently airing shit that neither is a word-for-word adaptation nor has a limited number of episodes.

Endeavour is the only exception and I am extremely apprehensive about it.

Honestly, I think Harry Potter fandom spoiled people (myself included) for how most fandoms are. I mean, I think even for the way fandoms were in 2004ish, fandom tends to be much quieter and less interactive, but Harry Potter fandom basically had fandoms within the fandom. There was the LJ fandom, the FictionAlley fandom, the Sugar Quill fandom, Mugglenet fandom... you could always find something for you there. I don't think most fandoms were ever like that, with the possible exception of Star Trek and Star Wars. Possibly. So people used to that sort of fandom have gone from one extreme to the other. :/

I'm in a closed fandom now, and before then the last two books came out about twelve and nine years apart (respectively), so it was always a bit closed. And it really worked well - we had wank but it got resolved.
