I agree. I've come across this sort to cliff-hanger chapter writing quite a lot in more recently written action novels, and the chapters really do read like episodes of some cheap television series. Not that chapters shouldn't end with suspense, but that they should do so only if it fits where you are in the story, the story shouldn't be bent out of shape just to achieve it.
