7 episodes every two years.
Total run time of this entire season of LOU is the same run time as lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring extended version lolol
It's not just a straight-up hours game though. You can't just put it all together and claim it's one thing. There's a flow to these things. Individual episodes need to have their own arcs. Each episode has to tell its own story. Or at least a coherent piece of the story. I mean you can't just chop a movie up into pieces and call it a good television show. It wouldn't work. So pure hours don't actually mean much.
I’m well aware of this. But the pacing of the last of us seasons feel like a sprint to the finish.
The two year gap becoming standard is particularly rough, especially because it often ends up being three years
Yep I lose interest in so many shows that way
alot of shows started doing this, and then the actors got too old(ISAIP,spn) and everyone forgot about the series, and then quality went down as well too.
and not as bad as orville, 6 years for 3 seasons, and 4th season may not even materialize, because its always in a limbo. one of the leads of orville(the palacki in rosenbaums podcast) said it was insane and too unaffordable to wait that long per season.
and then the fabled AOT which was almost 10years for 4seasons.
