    looking at supernatural, kripkes other creation. when the 2 new showrunners took over, it became nothing more than fan/slashfiction for fans who becames extremely obsessed with the characthers.

    Homelander kills the shows version of “Trump”, then takes complete power. As his first act as president he puts tariffs on the world.

    I believe a show should only run as long as its story warrants it for. Some shows can go however long it wants because it creates its own stories on the go like Doctor Who or Star Trek so they’re going to have many series and seasons. But shows like Dexter that start going off its hinges and falls apart because of it going for too long because it had no direction and its story could already be pin-pointed as to when it ends. Those kinds of shows shouldn’t be going on at any rate.

    If you don’t have the creative prowess to keep a show going, tell its story and be done with it.

    He’s probably been approached by one too many chuds that worship their idea of Homelander and that think he is his character.

      Why? I feel like people are looking for reasons to be disappointed with that show. It’s bizarre.

        Because every popular show gets milked to death and executives start interjecting stupid ideas and ruin it. They already had a filler episode in season 2.

      I love the first two seasons of Severance, but even if the third will be bad, it won’t affect my feelings towards the first two.

      Unless it’s GoT season 8 levels of bad, but that’s probably not possible.

        I lost interest during season 2 because it was just too on the nose and obvious, which is odd given that the Ennis original (which I love dearly) is about as unsubtle as you can get.

        The other issue was I felt like they largely threw the anti-corporation themes out of the window in favour of making it a superhero show.

        I loved the first season, but the way it was evolving in the second just didn’t sit well with me.

          The third is alright, closer to superhero slop than anti corporate. Fourth season is really good, shifts away from corpo satire and towards political satire really well. You should give it another shot when the final season drops.

    Agreed entirely. A show should last only as long as it takes to tell its story. 2-3 seasons is fine. Hell, even limited one season shows are great.

      limited one season shows

      That’s called a “mini series”. :)

      And BTW, Shogun was the finest thing I’ve seen in years, maybe ever. My wife and I were drooling for the next episode, week in, week out.

      I admit to prejudice. Watched the original mini series many times growing up, read the book three times. My wife’s half Japanese, really seems to dislike Japanese anything (🤷🏻), still loved every second of it.

        Idk if the new Shogun is a miniseries. I believe they confirmed a season 2 & 3 (unfortunately).

    As a huge fan of the show im glad it’s ending too. Anymore multiple seasons of resetting the power balance would kill any interest.

        Damn moreso when you realize they’re all an extension of eachother in spirit. GA rose from the ashes of ER, etc.

        The joke has always been there needs to be a primetime medical drama at all times.

    I always say a show should only run 5 seasons at most, and if it’s very popular to just do the occasional mini series.
