I've talked to some folk who work in TV about just this.
The upshot is that knowing the length of run with enough time creates better episodes whether the run is short or long.
The problem is something getting big and an emergency demand for more episodes after a season has already been planned out. (or that episodes need to be cut for a reduced run).
As for the BBC, we are still very much waiting for the clock to run out on Casualty, Holby City, EastEnders, silent witness...
I'd also argue that even despite a shorter episode length, Sherlock still managed to overstay its welcome.
Don't even get me started with Sherlock. 😂 Greatest show of all time ever to jump the shark.
Let hbomberguy tell you how Sherlock is bad by talking about it for what feels like an entire season of Sherlock.
Moffat...Moffat...Moffat
Wow. I wasn’t aware of hbomberguy. Seems more of an “attack the person” and less of an “attack the idea” kind of person.
With the strikes there is no way to assume the next season has been fully planned out. Now is a great to expand the show. I'd rather more SNW than another spin-off or series.
