No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

That's the tendency of drawing out shows for too long. The same goes for new season renewals because it got popular. The stakes have to be bigger, and it just gets bigger and bigger until it becomes absurd or unrealistic. The worst ones are shows that were supposed to be a one-time thing, but they go viral and super popular that the network forces a new season to milk it, and the quality suffers as a result.
Even great shows tend to do this as well. For example, Peaky Blinders was a great show about a local gang fighting for power in their town. By the last season the protagonist was fighting against the rising fascists on a national scale going into WW2. Money Heist, whether you think it was great or not, was a simple heist story contained in a single event. But because it got popular, the stakes had to be bigger on the following seasons, which obviously starts to make things unrealistic.
Korean dramas have a way around this. Kdramas tend to be lenghty (i.e. 16 episodes that are 1.5 hours each), and what makes the great ones successful is there are 2 to 3 arcs that happen within the show, so it doesn't feel like the plot just keeps escalating and getting stretched out for the entire run. There is a semi-conclusion halfway, then a twist happens which opens up another side to the story.
