Maybe that is because after two years, I've all but forgotten why I was excited about a show in the first place.
It used to be on network TV that a season ended in May and the next started in September. I can wait four month for the next season.
Now seasons are as short as 10 episodes, and then we wait for two or three years for the next season. It's like the opposite of striking the iron while it's hot. They delay a season so long that any hype and excitement fizzles out before the next installment arrives.
I realize making the financial math work for productions like this isn't easy, but this feels like they are damaging the brands that they are trying to create.
