有朋友讨论后得出结论：哪有电视剧不烂尾的？看看《迷失》、《黑道家族》，还有《宋飞正传》，这些红极一时的剧都避免不了烂尾的结局。所以还是得把期待值降低一点，就不会这么失落了。

作者想了想，不对啊，明明有电视剧从头到尾一路精彩，那就是1994年版的《三国演义》。

While I didn’t have an answer for how I would end it, I had a strong gut reaction that yes, a sprawling TV show with hundreds of characters about political scheming, warring factions with fantasy elements is possible to do well from start to finish, I’d seen it.

虽然我不确定如果我是编剧会怎么写结局，但我立刻想到，有！我还看过！那部剧里有上百个涉及权力争夺和军事冲突的角色，还有不少带奇幻元素气势磅礴的战争场面，而且从头到尾都十分高能。

I’d seen it in the 1994 CCTV adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the 84 episode Chinese TV series based on the historical novel about China’s medieval warring states period.

那就是1994年CCTV拍摄的《三国演义》。这部长达84集的剧根据中世纪中国战乱年代历史小说改编而成。

While the show can’t be compared to Thrones in terms of production, the two are kindred spirits. There are articles and deep Reddit threads that have detailed comparisons, but in short, both stories anchor political intrigue with complex characters, their subplots and sudden demise in the grand scheme of three power blocs.
