I mean, I've been reading The Stand since 2011 and still can't admit to myself that I quit reading it.
So, what determines the cutpoint for you? At what point do you know that the satisfaction of completing something cannot make up for the time you invested in it?

I'm really bad at cutting shows off. If I started a series from the beginning. I feel obligated to stick it through til the finale even if I notice it becoming ridiculous and they should end it. It happened to me with True Blood.
I'm glad that I was able to cut myself off from Supernatural though. I believe it is going on its 13th season and I haven't watched it in seven years.
I guess it is a bit different for me because I tend to watch most shows in their original run so I have to wait week to week instead of how most people just binge whole seasons.
