* ''Series/{{Castle}}'' has the murder of Johanna Beckett. By the end of the third season the only thing about the murder that still needs to be explained is who the mastermind was. This did not get revealed until the premiere of the fifth season with the episodes of season 4 dedicated to it been a long exercise in stalling. [[labelnote:Explanation]] They involved Castle making sure Beckett did not investigate the case to ensure the mastermind did not try and kill her, the only thing they accomplished was resolving the cliff hanger of the third season finale. [[/labelnote]] Even then it was not until the penultimate episode of Season 6 that he was brought to justice. And ''then'', just when you thought it was all over, Season 8 dug it all up ''again'' to reveal that the guy who did it was himself a stooge for someone ''else'', and they ''also'' had some big complicated conspiracy scheme going on, and Castle and Beckett had to dig even further into her mother's murder to unravel it. By this point everyone watching was so sick of it that Season 8 turned out to be the last season.
