    I believe a show should only run as long as its story warrants it for. Some shows can go however long it wants because it creates its own stories on the go like Doctor Who or Star Trek so they’re going to have many series and seasons. But shows like Dexter that start going off its hinges and falls apart because of it going for too long because it had no direction and its story could already be pin-pointed as to when it ends. Those kinds of shows shouldn’t be going on at any rate.

    If you don’t have the creative prowess to keep a show going, tell its story and be done with it.

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

      He is apparently an asshole based on his bar fighting and how he treats his costars.

    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.

    I always say a show should only run 5 seasons at most, and if it’s very popular to just do the occasional mini series.

    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.

    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.

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

      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.

    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.
