I mean I have experienced this with many series. Not all though.
I have the feeling some series get used as cash cows. There is certain dilemma when someone produces art or creative material.
Shall the product be as good as possible or does it need to be financially the most successful?
I think Netflix made something really bold some years ago. They invested crazy amounts of money into high quality series like House of Cards. FInancially very very risky. And they had huge success. But this could have backfired hard. They revolutionized the business. Now they struggle too much. The market is too full with hard competitors.
They need money, money and money. This is probably the answer of the title. To prolong succesful series in order to squeeze the last cent.
So many series got ruined because of that. I have quit them after it went down. Maybe they regained their old quality but I doubt it.
The Simpsons. Who is still watching that? The last episodes I watched were horrible. But that is some years ago.
House Of Cards the last season was trash. It really gave me the feeling to quit such series in general which I did
The Walking Dead. I want to know how that shit ends. But they prolonged it more and more. I did a research it will end this year. I think the quality could have been way better with less seasons.
In order to get as much money as possible the companies choose quantity over quality. When Netflix started they did not have to do it. But due to the market with much competition they are forced to do so.
Can you add some series where you could observe similar things? Lack of quality while the series got one more series after another. And the consumers still buy it. Sad.
