How do I say '風呂敷を広げる','風呂敷のたたみ方を知らない' in english? Dear guys. How do I say '風呂敷を広げる','風呂敷のたたみ方を知らない' in english? I often watch NETFLIX. NETFLIX is famous for original drama series. But I don't want to watch it. Because american TV drama series expand the story exaggerate to atract the viewer, but if the popularity was lost,the proglam would be ended easily without end result,like 'LOST'. (So I like Black mirror series). In Japan, We say that situation '風呂敷を広げる','風呂敷のたたみ方を知らない' . Are there similar phrases in english? And do you like that TV programs?
