Edit made months later: It turned to shit. No longer recommended.

All the more reason to try to only consume finished works. In-progress recommendations are treacherous.

I agree with the sentiment because it's frustrating not being able to complete something right away, but with AnH I really did enjoy following it month by month. I think that some pieces of entertainment are suited to that style of consumption and are fun to follow, even if they don't turn out to be very good in the end and aren't worth it for those who would go back and consume it all at once.
