Sherlock Holmes on BBC has 3 episodes each season. With about 2 years waiting between seasons
Seriously? That sucks.
They we’re 3 outstanding episodes. Not 10 fillers and 3 good ones.
At least in the earlier seasons.
I think it fell off very heavily, which sucks, because now I also don’t want to rewatch the awesome early seasons.
They we are?
Can’t blame it on autocorrect, I fucked up.
Outstanding my ass. They literally updated definitions of queerbaiting after that series.
Found out with Luther here. I was like, “that’s it?!”
The episodes have been getting longer as the seasons get shorter, tho. I think it’s much more likely we get something like 3 90-minute episodes per season (like Sherlock, which was mostly fantastic).
How about just one 90-120 minute episode? We might have to come up with a new name for them. /s
Ever hear of British sitcoms?
Six episodes and sixty percent of the same actors always.
I’m watching The Office if that counts.
Man, I hope so. I’ll take 10 we’ll written episodes over 24 with 10 that are mediocre and 4 that are just filler
You mean mini series?
Are you suggesting that they are trending towards becoming movies?
eh, quality over quantity imo. midnight mass had super long episodes but only about 6 of them. it’s a fantastic show though
I don’t really see them getting better, just shorter and more expensive to produce.
oh no, i didn’t mean to suggest they’re getting better. i just meant to say that shorter seasons with longer episodes isn’t necessarily bad. most recent thing i watched was the first john wick movie, i really don’t keep up with the latest tv releases.
Attack on Titan is already 2 steps ahead of you with 1-episode specials
Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2 Part 2 Episode 1 of 1
Their naming scheme is like my presentations at work. Just need to add “_final_final_upd”
Why do you say it like it’s a bad thing? 😅
I miss the old twenty-something episode seasons… these days it costs twice as much for a third of the content. Take The X-Files for example, the monster of the week eps were what kept me watching… the main alien arc was actually kinda sloppy, and all the satanic cult stuff I just sorta tolerated.
