TV has always been a hotbed for fan theories. There's often nothing more satisfying for fans than speculating on what could happen next, even in the age of shorter seasons and Netflix releasing whole batches of episodes at once. Whether it's just between friends or with hundreds of people on a fan board, and whether it's a sitcom, a crime show, a dark fantasy, or something else, predicting the arc of a TV show, its characters, or its story is a fun way to pass the time. And it's especially thrilling if what you predict turns out to be true.
