All of them. How about some new shit for once?
I still get frustrated when we get a big games conference to show off a bunch of trailers, and a streamer watching one will start rattling off “Oh. Soldier of Fortune remake? Bloodborne 2? God of War?” up to the title card. Then, when it’s some fresh new IP, not a sequel, everyone has a reaction of “Oh. Dunno what that is.”
Gamers are very much complicit in the terrible state of game remakes/sequels.
Imagine that. Two or three seasons for a tv show always srem like the sweet spot. Same with movies. Terminator, great. Terminator 2, even better. Terminator 3 to wherever we are now, what the fuck even is this?
I think a lot of people watch long lasting tv shows out of habit, not because they are good or holding up. Bob's burger is the only exception i can think off, and maybe some other niche shows, if they are good they are good and if they have more to say, go ahead.
One of my favourite shows used to be community. I have the fondest memories watching it for the first time. Now every time i rewatch it i got reminded that only the first two seasons are really good, and then it just falls apart.
No way, so many examples of great shows over 3 seasons long. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, The Sopranos, The Wire, The Simpsons was amazing for a long time, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Battlestar Galactica, The Shield... I could go on.
What? No. Absolutely not. Fuck, imagine if TNG had only run 2 seasons. Any more terrible ideas?
It's not a golden rule. A show can be bigger if the creator has a large enough vision for it, from the start. The problem is that it's not how the business works - if you try to make a long show you'll end up with a cancelled show instead.
