I'm still really angry they cancelled the OA, it might have not been the most popular show but I thought it was incredibly original and engaging... and it was clear the story had so much more to give.
I wish they had, at least, given it one extra season to wrap things up. I think there's a huge difference between cancelling a show and telling a show "okay you have one more season". Both in trust with filmmakers/writers/etc and viewers.
For this reason I have mostly just been watching shows that I know are either finished, 1 season, or guaranteed to be renewed due to massive popularity. I was sort of traumatised when they cancelled the OA.
- moomin 4y agoFWIW the creators have been quite clear they didn’t think a “wrap it up” season would have worked. I can see why. Their whole storytelling method was unlike anything else in the business. Ironically, since they more than most shows just wildly ignored the convention that episodes should be the same length, it was uniquely suited to streaming. (Master of None does this, very few others do.)
