When are people going to realize a show doesn't "jump the shark" just because it goes in a direction they don't personally care for? Just about every TV show out there has people on IMDb screaming that it has jumped the shark.

I expect a lot of people have no idea where "jumping the shark" originated from and what it actually means.

Exactly!

It's not nearly as bad though as the masses here who clearly have no idea what-so-ever what a "plot hole" is. It's maddening.

Yes. I love reading about genuine plot holes because it makes you think, "Oh yeah, such a and such couldn't have actually happened." Again, people think a plot hole is an aspect of the story they don't much care for.

How can an 8 episode mini series jump the shark?
