Remember how much we all loved those shows when they started? It's wild. Streaming TV has gone from shows people actually want to watch to shows that have dragged on so long viewers only stick with them out of a sense of exhausted obligation.

I've personally suffered "significant" financial and "personal" (relationships) losses because of quitting X.
So I understand the cost can be high.
But the right thing to do is always the right thing to do, it's black and white.
And sometimes, when it matters, you just have to take the loss.

Israel has violated the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days—killing 342 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.
That's more than 11 violations every single day.
The genocide never stopped. Palestinians are still being killed.
