    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.

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

    It’s already ran too long imho. Season 3 amounted to nothing.

        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).

      It wont. It’s like squeezing an orange, the first few seasons got all the $juice$ now they’re wringing a dry husk with tired writers. May as well get Matt Parker and Trey Stone in to wrap up the show at this point.

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

      I mean Sam and Dean could have gone on for another 10 years and I wouldn’t have complained.

    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.

    All for it. I rarely find a show beyond sitcom type comedies that isn’t dissapointing by season 4. 3 seasons of a good show keeps me simultaneously wanting more but also secretly glad that that’s how I’m left feeling. Feel the same way with a really good course at a restaurant.
