If you are doing limited run shows with short season with big names and big money AND you don’t film back to back then wtf are you doing.

They used to knock out 24 episodes a season and now these studios take 3 years to do 11 episodes. Then some new exec comes in and cancels the show after 2 seasons which took 4 years for some reason.

I like the shorter seasons. I like less filler. Just pick up the pace.

    When someone makes a great work like this, I say let them do it on their terms. If season two sucks then your complaints were warranted. If not, they aren't imo.

    Edit: also how are comparing sitcoms to shows like this which are clearly far higher budget and overall effort in general?

    Back in the day, there were some big budget shows like LOST and Heroes which did have ~20 episode seasons with only a few months in between seasons. After the 2007 writers strike and the rise of streaming, that seemed to stop and we got the 8-10 episode seasons with multi year gaps in between.
