Or even hold people’s interest until the next season started? The Walking Dead is the poster child of this and their big cliffhanger completely backfired on them when the story got spoiled months before the new season aired and pissed off the fans for a multitude if reasons.

I think with modern, on-demand viewing, cliffhangers should be banned because they don’t have any of the benefits they did when you had to watch on a specific day at a specific time to keep up and every other fan was in the same boat.
