For me the issue isn't if the series is finished but instead does each book have a satisfactory ending. Meaning while the overall plot may not be finished does each book itself have a plot that is finished. If it does I'll read them but if the author doesn't accomplish anything because the main plot is the sole focus hence each ending is meaningless without the entire story then no I won't read a series.
