I'm the opposit. What can be so detailed that it needs more than a 90 mins film?
Some super complicated thing where every detail count and that lasted several decades in real life? Ok, make it one season, and let say 5 or 6 episodes max.
What in the world could be so intersting that it needs to be several season? By the time you're done you could have done a PhD and know absolutely everything about a particular subject!
- usrusr 7y agoThe problem is not shows designed for, say, six episodes only being six episodes long, that's perfectly fine, just like 90 minutes is perfectly fine. The "limited series" format is a very good match for flatrate streaming and there are lots of very good examples, mostly from the UK. The problem is shows designed for >30 episodes being cut short. Do that too often and you'll see massive reluctance to start watching any new show that isn't a limited series. When was the last time you considered using the Google chat system du jour?
- basch 7y agoFargo is a perfect example. Lots of interconnected chaos, that lasts one season. Then a new story, with new characters in the same universe. I look forward to more creative storytelling that is both familiar and fresh (fresh in that each season has some tonal shifts despite commonalities.) It's also not a documentary, despite saying it is, so Im not "learning." That said, something like the history of the Ottoman Empire probably takes more than 5 episodes to cover.
