    Human cost? Filming for 16 hour days 6 days a week impacts actors and crews lives.

    Most long running TV shows cite this as the reason for losing stars - e.g. Mulder and Scully leaving the X Files.

      Understandable. Which is why I like the 10 episode seasons. But if you telling me they can’t do 10 a year. Cmon

        I guess people forgot how many shitty episodes were made in 20 episode seasons.

        Good writing and filming takes time. If they rushed three quick seasons you guys would whine about the quality.

          Show me one “streamee” show as rewatchable as any top ten 20 episode a season syndicated show.

          Pick and top ten syndicated show and seelct eight to ten episodes a season that would leave it as well off and respected as it is currently.

          Those duds were lost to the vibe.

          Dark ran three seasons 2017-2020 and was excellent. I think maybe what is happening is that shows are greenlit on an interesting premise and an unwritten ending.

        it would never work with sci-fi shows, they need more than 10. i think its the streaming service to string people along so they subscribe longer,+ to save money,.

      also the long hiatus between seasons causes the same thing too, but somewhat worst, because actors, crews are not getting paid. its the executive being stingy with cost.
