I think you'd save yourself a lot of time by counting the ways it could go right. You'd only need one or two fingers.

They'll release 2 episodes of a show, then never anymore and never say anything about the fact you won't ever get the rest of the series. You'll just be stuck, waiting, hoping, in perpetuity...

Anytime I see anything about Saudi Arabia I think of the Crown Prince and I retch. Add Stu to the mix and it's worse...
