Weiss-Benioff

Amassing an enormous following and then collapsing under the weight of populary. (Particularly of television series)

1. Although "breaking bad" was a great example of the weiss-benioff effect, no show has collapsed under its own popularity quite a spectacularly as "Game of thrones."

2. I am watching this new show on Netflix. It is so good, but don't tell anyone. I don't want it to get weiss-benioffed.

3. The actors and producers on the show all want to leave and do movies. We are totally getting weiss-benioffed.

4. "The walking dead," due to some poor writing in early seasons thankfully avoided a weiss-benioff.
