It’s one of the biggest heartbreaks for fans of sci-fi and fantasy TV: a show that begins so strong… only to crash and burn by the finale. In this episode, Jim runs through his Top 10 SFF TV Series That Ended Badly—shows he loved early on, but by the end, left him frustrated and disappointed.

From Star Trek: Enterprise to Game of Thrones, from Heroes to Fringe, these are the ones that stumbled across the finish line. Some ended too soon, some went on way too long, and some just lost their magic.

Not every book is meant to be reread—and today, Jim’s flying solo to talk about the other side of the bookshelf. These are the SFF books, trilogies, and series he finished once… and will never go back to. Whether they fizzled out, dragged on, or just left him scratching his head, these eight selections are ones that didn’t earn a second chance.

This episode follows up on Jim’s recent countdown of SFF Books He Would Read Again in a Heartbeat. But this time? It’s all about the ones that definitely didn’t make that list.

Will you agree with his takes? Will you clutch your favorite book in protest? That’s half the fun. Join the conversation and let us know what you would never read again!
