or just film these shyts back to back - you got the plot laid out, then write the fukking scripts. studios need to greenlight and cut the check to film all 16-20 episodes. like maybe 10% of these actors really be having some big shyt poppin with films, but 80% of them actors claim they needs breaks to film other stuff only to be in the most mid-flop or straight to streaming titles. maybe i'm downplaying the creative/production process, but i dont see why they can hunker down and film 2 seasons and have them shyts ready to go each year

COVID AND THE WRITERS STRIKE
CAUSED A LOT OF shyt
TO BE DELAYED THEN THESE a$$holeS
USED THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY
TO MAKE THAT TIMEFRAME THE NORM

I’m watching EP 6 now so I’ll be out to avoid spoilers. I like the show…a lot….but god damn….am I tripping or when did we just start openly killing kids like this on TV!? I watch a lot of horror…tv…movies in general. This is some dark shyt even for HBO.

:what:THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH
THE 6-10 EP SEASONS
IS THE FACT TAKES 2-3 YEARS
TO GET A NEW SEASON.

YOU WOULD THINK
WE WOULD DEFINITELY GET
A NEW SEASON EVERY YEAR
WITH SO FEW EPISODES.

GAME OF THRONES
USED TO DROP EVERY YEAR.

TV HAS FALLEN THE fukk OFF.

I think it's mostly on the studios bullshytting to save money. Look at The Pitt, they back quick as hell. Slow Horses is 6 eps, films back to back and done released 5 seasons since 2022. Seems Casey Bloys had to fight for that show to do some of the things it did though.

Like WBD couldve funded seasons 2 and 3 of HotD instead of bullshytting with the budget and fukking up the story, but they probably wouldve had to put aside 200-300Ms and didnt want to do it.

Yeah, but that was during the heyday of cable 15-30 years ago. Streaming is not optimized for shows that are 20-24 episodes per season.

I've watched a few K-dramas that have 16-20 episodes in a season and they can be a slog to get through (so much filler lol).

8-12 episodes is the perfect sweet spot. It's studios taking 2-3 years to release a new season that is the problem.
Man this is funny because my girl is currently watching a K-Drama (The Penthouse: War in Life), and the first season has like 22 episodes, each about 1h and 10 minutes long :gucci:

IVE BEEN LISTENING TO
THE "IT" AUDIOBOOK ON SPOTIFY RECENTLY
SO IVE STILL BEEN EATING GOOD.

shyt IS ABOUT 45 HOURS LONG.

THE NARRATOR IS VERY GOOD
AT VOICE ACTING
AND REALLY MAKE YOU FEEL
LIKE YOUR LISTENING TO A MOVIE
.

:devil:
:evil:

Yep, audiobook game has came a long way from one person, reading the whole book in the same tone and that's it. People put more effort into making them, then you got the places like Graphic Audio that specialize in making the best experience. Their tagline is "A movie in your mind". They go all out on the books they do. Almost every character has their own voice actor, sound effects, music, everything. This is what the cast of one of their books(Mistborn) looks like:
