This is something I really appreciated about Dark (German). They wrote the story as three seasons, it was complete for three seasons, they found and released all three seasons. There won’t be a fourth. It was refreshing.
Where in American shows even if they have some idea where they are going (anti-Lost) they almost never completely shut the door.

- asciimov 5y agoAnother problem western shows have is their increasingly vague release schedules. The new Star Treks, Doctor Who, The Witcher, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul you get them when you get them. (or maybe AMC will decide to break a season in half and give you half this year and half next year.)
