Do you agree with the sentiment that current tv seasons are too short/expensive?

The seasons don't have to be 22 episodes anymore, but that taking years to for the next season to come out is insane. I thought that shyt would end once COVID ended but these nikkas got lazy.

For (most) streaming shows, 8-12 episodes is the perfect amount.

The issue is that episode runtimes are often too short, and a new season takes 2-3 years to come out.

I don’t really have a problem with the length of the seasons. My problem is the 2 to 4 years between seasons. Gotta watch a damn recap and YouTube deep drive just to remember anything.

Most shows these days don't have 10-12 episodes worth of material to make it interesting though.

I really dislike the trend of tv show seasons being cut short.

HBO making the final few years of Game of Thrones and the new House of Dragons 7-8 episodes really sucks.

Not only that but they make you wait forever to get to the next season.

10-13 episodes per season is the sweet spot for a normal show.

Less than 10 episodes is much better suited for a miniseries. You give me 6-8 episodes of Mare of Easttown, or The Night Of…I’m happy with that.

Yeah...when I saw the thread title I was about to post that short seasons are OK as long as the next season starts within a year of the first epsiode...but I see everyone else has already posted the same thing

I'm still waiting for Season 2 of "The Night Manager". Season 1 was NINE YEARS AGO
