I was really sad at how short season 3 was, but quality over quantity, at the very least I am grateful that Netflix revived one of my favorite shows. If all netflix does is pick up popular shows that arent popular enough for time slot tv, and inject new life into them I will be a netflix subscriber forever.

It's only the first half of the season! There is a second half coming in 2017

  That sounds like two separate seasons. This is good news though :)

> I was really sad at how short season 3 was Huh? It's already 6 episodes, compared to the first two seasons that were just 3 episodes each, not including the one-off "White Christmas" special. The runtime of the season 3 episodes are longer too.

  Short compared to other shows, not short compared to its previous format designed for time slot tv.

    It's not supposed to be long and continuous like the majority of forgettable shows, who just prolong seasons to milk money. That's why UK shows are way superior - if the plan and story is to make 4 seasons, then it's over, even if viewers are begging for more.

    6 episodes is a normal length for a TV season in the UK.

    Having such anthology format is probably more costly since you can re-use very little in between episodes.

Netflix didn't revive it. They outbid the original producers for production rights. It would've been continued one way or another.

  Netflix outbid the original broadcasters for broadcast/streaming rights. The same producers (Zeppotron /Endemol Shine) have made all three seasons.

    Wow I didn't know that, thanks for pointing it out. Still, I can't help but wonder if the third season is a bit more Americanized.

  Why the massive gap since season 2 then? If you dont count the single episode "special" there hasnt been a season 3.5 years.

    Look at the Sherlock Holmes gaps.

      But that's mostly due to how extremely popular are now the two main actors, compared to when they first started doing the show, no?

        Also British shows don't have teams of writers, it tends to be one or two people working alone, so workload and inspiration also affect show times.
