“Business people” don’t contribute anything to society and should be thrown into a dumpster.

Only if the dumpster is lit on fire like they did to society.

And yet we’ll get more marvel crap or another buddy cop drama set in Chicago.

Unfortunately that’s gonna be a problem with a lot of companies for a bit, not just Discovery. Writer’s strikes are often followed by a flood of cheap reality bullshit since it’s the only content studios can make with zero talented people involved.

I believe you are underestimating these studios, fine person on the internet.

Throw it on the pile.

At least Our Flag Means Death had a bit of closure at the end of the 2nd season. I’m livid there won’t be another season of Raised by Wolves.

I had strong love for the brilliance of the first 2 episodes as directed by Ridley Scott, and the absolute batshit craziness of the ones directed by his son, Luke. It was pretty clear they ran out of SFX budget for S1 during that scene though…

Batshit is about right. That show was so off the rails in such a fun way. Really scratched the bizarre sci-fi itch. To the point that I didn’t mind the poorly done visuals. It was a lot like Lexx or Red Dwarf in that regard.

Loved the show, hated the flashbacks, I felt it detracted from the whole point of the show. >!I could excuse the flashbacks on the ship, that story was interesting too.!< Then the flashbacks kept coming and coming. I think they spent basically a whole episode in a flashback and that really frustrated me.

I agree with all of the criticisms mentioned here, bur dont care. That show was so refreshingly bizarre and bold, I absolutely loved it. Was it hard to follow? Extremely. Did it have some uh interesting moments effects wise? Definitely. But it was so much better than the typical drivel we get. Id kill to read it as a book series or even just hear where the creators wanted the story to go, but we never will.

I will never again lament that a show didn’t find closure before cancelation.

We were really liking Ragnarok (Netflix), but when it was clear thege wouldn’t be a fourth year, the writers threw together the worst, most unsatisfying, rushed, cop-out conclusion. Ever. Like, GoT season 8, but worse. Like they collectively said, “cancel us? Then fuck you!”

I honestly wish I’d have quit in the middle of S3. Not knowing would have been better.

Cliffhangers are worse, honestly. They demonstrably don’t help nowadays. Ending a season-long arc is a great place to leave people wanting another… whether or not you get another. Ending that arc in the first episode of next season is a middle finger to most audiences.

It sucks because I love Taika’s whole pirate aesthetic, but at the same time… what else were they going to do with the show?

In an interview tied to the Season 2 finale, Jenkins broke down his plans for a potential third season of the show, which he believed should be the show’s last.

“I love things in threes,” he said. “That first act, second act, third act structure is so satisfying when it is done well, and you don’t overstay your welcome. I think this world of the show is a big world, and if the third season is successful, we could go on in a different way. But I think for the story of Stede and Ed, that is a three-season story.”

Seems he had a plan and it was slated to end next season anyway.

Would have been nice to finish it out.

I did not know that. Bummer.

But maybe the show will get picked up by another streaming service, since that’s a thing that happens now with surprising regularity.

The plot was semi-historical, so it could have ended with Stede’s demise.

I’m upset but also season 2 ended so well that I’m kind of OK with it.

You always see this comment on IMDb - “Yeah the Briddish make the best shows but I wish they had more episodes”

Mate, they’re better because they’re not drawn out for profit. You get six to eight episodes, maybe three to five series, and you’re left with a good memory.

Not 15 episodes per series, the middle eight of which are pointless filler that you could skip and still understand the story, then 15 series where you kinda stopped watching after series 7 then spent your time moaning about how it went to shit
