The entertainment industry is so sad 😓
Boring TV shows tend to make money. Daytime TV for pensioners. It’s boring as hell but you’re at work, or streaming content, or on the tiktoks doing virals for dings.
Broadcast TV, where most shows still come from, are not for you. You ever notice just how many procedural cop shows there are?
Art is always a risk. Under our current system it’s more profitable to minimize that risk. Thus you get the boring and predictable
Anything longer than 5 seasons and they’re just milking it.

I’d say 3.

Diddlydee is on a UK instance-- overe there they have 3 to 6 episodes per season and they come out every 2 to 5 years. Of course 5 seasons will feel like too much.
They don’t even have words to differentiate season from series-- madness! Amazing that island is still afloat.
Dr. Who famously not British and few seasons.
