    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).
