looking at supernatural, kripkes other creation. when the 2 new showrunners took over, it became nothing more than fan/slashfiction for fans who becames extremely obsessed with the characthers.

Homelander kills the shows version of "Trump", then takes complete power. As his first act as president he puts tariffs on the world.
I believe a show should only run as long as its story warrants it for. Some shows can go however long it wants because it creates its own stories on the go like Doctor Who or Star Trek so they're going to have many series and seasons. But shows like Dexter that start going off its hinges and falls apart because of it going for too long because it had no direction and its story could already be pin-pointed as to when it ends. Those kinds of shows shouldn't be going on at any rate.
If you don't have the creative prowess to keep a show going, tell its story and be done with it.
I wish severence would have ended at season 2, exactly the way it did. I'm bracing for dissapointment.
I love the first two seasons of Severance, but even if the third will be bad, it won't affect my feelings towards the first two.
Unless it's GoT season 8 levels of bad, but that's probably not possible.
You say that, but sometimes a continuation is so bad that it like goes back in time and somehow taints your memories.
He's probably been approached by one too many chuds that worship their idea of Homelander and that think he is his character.
He is apparently an asshole based on his bar fighting and how he treats his costars.
Perfectly casted.
It’s already ran too long imho. Season 3 amounted to nothing.
Yep I totally lost interest a while ago it got so repetitive
I lost interest during season 2 because it was just too on the nose and obvious, which is odd given that the Ennis original (which I love dearly) is about as unsubtle as you can get.
The other issue was I felt like they largely threw the anti-corporation themes out of the window in favour of making it a superhero show.
I loved the first season, but the way it was evolving in the second just didn't sit well with me.
The third is alright, closer to superhero slop than anti corporate. Fourth season is really good, shifts away from corpo satire and towards political satire really well. You should give it another shot when the final season drops.
That sounds like it goes all-in on what I disliked about it.
I'll pass.
Yep it steadily declined endless "homelander bad but can't be stopped because reasons"
"I dont want to play the Facist supersoldier anymore."
... play?
Im quite sure he doesnt have eye lasers.
I mean, the whole point of the show is a critique on fascism.
It's definitely already outstayed its welcome in the USA.
We tried and failed, you're on your own now
His glasses look like those novelty ones with the eyes printed on them.
Agreed entirely. A show should last only as long as it takes to tell its story. 2-3 seasons is fine. Hell, even limited one season shows are great.
limited one season shows
That's called a "mini series". :)
And BTW, Shogun was the finest thing I've seen in years, maybe ever. My wife and I were drooling for the next episode, week in, week out.
I admit to prejudice. Watched the original mini series many times growing up, read the book three times. My wife's half Japanese, really seems to dislike Japanese anything (🤷🏻), still loved every second of it.
As a huge fan of the show im glad it's ending too. Anymore multiple seasons of resetting the power balance would kill any interest.
if I see one of the boys thrown backwards into a wall by a supe and be perfectly fine after ONE MORE TIME...
I always say a show should only run 5 seasons at most, and if it's very popular to just do the occasional mini series.
Except sg1 right? :)
SG1 only ran 5 seasons, season 3 through season 7. Nothing else was real. Just a bad dream.
Looking at you, Grays Anatomy
Yeah, don't want a supernatural situation going on.
I mean Sam and Dean could have gone on for another 10 years and I wouldn't have complained.
Yeah, last season wasn't great. Hopefully it'll end strong.
It wont. It's like squeezing an orange, the first few seasons got all the $juice$ now they're wringing a dry husk with tired writers. May as well get Matt Parker and Trey Stone in to wrap up the show at this point.

That would actually be awesome!
It would, but I'm referencing Crab People, not The Return of The Fellowship of the Ring.
All for it. I rarely find a show beyond sitcom type comedies that isn't dissapointing by season 4. 3 seasons of a good show keeps me simultaneously wanting more but also secretly glad that that's how I'm left feeling. Feel the same way with a really good course at a restaurant.
Fucking Homelander.
