- Constant hiatuses in the middle of the season. It's what's nice about shows like Mad Men - yes, there's long hiatuses in between each season, but there's also a consistency. If there's too many hiatuses in one season, often I'll just lose interest in the show altogether.

- When a show is 90% cliffhangers, and/or cliffhangers at the end of the season. I've almost given up on How to Get Away With Murder because it feels like the show will never actually wrap anything up - it'll just keep ending in one cliffhanger after another. And death fake outs can be annoying if it's obvious it's a fake out, like on Castle - I know Castle/Beckett isn't dead. You're not leaving me in suspense until the next season (or after the mid-season break or whatever). I know they're alive. Stop doing that.

- On a similar note, someone leaving the place that establishes the character. We know they're coming back. It's a waste of time and energy to pretend any differently.

THIS! I hate the constant hiatuses and then the cliffhangers.

It's why I'm down to only watching three shows live any more. Nashville, Revenge, and Jane the Virgin. And I'm only really keeping up with Nashville and Jane the Virgin because my mom and I watch them together.

The only others shows I watch regularly are @midnight and Jeopardy where I don't really have to worry about cliffhangers or hiatuses.

What about the shows that spend the first five minutes wrapping up last week's cliffhanger and then do nothing until the final couple of minutes to set up this week's? Episodic storytelling is a lost art.
