If you're a completionist, and being a completionist isn't making you happy, you should stop being a completionist. No one is making you be a completionist. If you have an addictive personality I guess that's fair enough, but I don't think it's fair to ask TV producers to stop making shows and fire the crew and cast based on some people having addictive personalities.

I just, in general, find it really hard to take seriously the idea that it's not just easy to quit watching. All you have to do is not watch.

NA - I follow the "quit watching" strategy myself, but I think you're being extremely narrow-minded about this. Walking away from a show you're emotionally invested in IS difficult for most people, because they're emotionally invested. I mean, next are you going to say you don't understand why breaking off an unfulfilling relationship is difficult for people? Because the same basic principle applies.

I mean, I don't think the analogy is exactly right, because in a relationship there's another person's feelings to be considered?

I'm not trying to be a hardass here, I do get that it's difficult to make the decision to stop watching sometimes, and it's always frustrating when a show you used to like gets bad. But I do think that completionism makes no sense and people should abandon it. The only good reason to continue watching a show is if you're enjoying it at least a little. And watching something you're not enjoying is, in almost all cases, fundamentally an easy problem to solve.
