    The problem this show will have is the same problem all Apple+ shows have. We’ll have to wait multiple years for season 2 and we’ll have forgotten what happened in season 1 or just forget about the show entirely.

      Ya, I hate this, but I am not sure if it’s just me getting older or just training, but I just watch what I watch and if it stops/never comes back oh well.

      There are a few shows I’m still disappointed they ended early, but either TV just isn’t as good now, I just don’t care as much or maybe a bit of both…

      Is that a problem though? The problem for me would be lackluster content and pushing out dozens terrible shows that producers do manage to push out on a yearly schedule. I much rather wait longer, for a better show. I actually believe it’s an ad for a show if it has multiple years between seasons. It shows me, as a potential viewer, that the show prioritizes quality over quantity and that the IP is strong enough that the company producing the show is willing to invest in it that many years later.

        Oh, you are gonna love reading and then waiting for the Game Of Thrones book series to end.

          I didn’t live under a rock 😉 You can probably already make assumptions how I feel about the ending and what I believe they should have done (production) wise.

          I don’t get why they didn’t take another year to deliver a qualitative ending. Even when the company believes they have good momentum, which they truly had. They now completely nuked it with that ending. It would have been a god tier series, that people would rewatch countless times. Now it’s just remembered as a disappointment.

            Lol, no, I meant the book series. Totally agree on the show, that actually did deserve way more time in the oven to cook.

            All I’m pointing out is the waiting game can get ridiculous like waiting over a decade for an author to create, granted, a very well done story, while said author goes off to work on other shit cuz he got bored or intimidated or whatever.

              Regardinf GoT, they could’ve also just waited until the books’ story had finished. It was a risk they took.

      It could be worse, they could cancel most of their shit after season 1 or 2 like everybody else.

      Does suck waiting years for subsequent series. I wish we could get some production quality drops in exchange for more focus on story, dialog and acting.

      I rewatched Season 1 of Severance in the runup to Season 2.

      If a show is strong, a rewatch enhances the experience. You notice details you might have missed.

      I mean, how many people here post about how many times they’ve seen LOTR?

            I’m including Severance. First season was top TV for me, second season was okay, but not at the level I expected.

              Agree to disagree.

              I felt like they kept the quality high and I look forward to Season 3.

              I just finished a Netflix series you might enjoy. The Lazarus Project. It does get a bit silly at times, but overall it’s exciting and interesting. I suggest you skip the blurbs and dive right in without expectations.

      Pffffttttt!!! You have it easy!!! I’ve been waiting nearly a quarter century for season two of the best big damn heroes show ever made. No end for the wait in sight, I’m afraid.

      Fortunately the ending for this show was a giant turd, so I don’t really care how long I have to wait. Severance on the other hand…….
