Fuck David Zaslav
“Business people” don’t contribute anything to society and should be thrown into a dumpster.
Only if the dumpster is lit on fire like they did to society.
It sucks because I love Taika’s whole pirate aesthetic, but at the same time… what else were they going to do with the show?
In an interview tied to the Season 2 finale, Jenkins broke down his plans for a potential third season of the show, which he believed should be the show’s last.
“I love things in threes,” he said. “That first act, second act, third act structure is so satisfying when it is done well, and you don’t overstay your welcome. I think this world of the show is a big world, and if the third season is successful, we could go on in a different way. But I think for the story of Stede and Ed, that is a three-season story.”
Seems he had a plan and it was slated to end next season anyway.
Would have been nice to finish it out.
I did not know that. Bummer.
But maybe the show will get picked up by another streaming service, since that’s a thing that happens now with surprising regularity.
The plot was semi-historical, so it could have ended with Stede’s demise.
I’m upset but also season 2 ended so well that I’m kind of OK with it.
You always see this comment on IMDb - “Yeah the Briddish make the best shows but I wish they had more episodes”
Mate, they’re better because they’re not drawn out for profit. You get six to eight episodes, maybe three to five series, and you’re left with a good memory.
Not 15 episodes per series, the middle eight of which are pointless filler that you could skip and still understand the story, then 15 series where you kinda stopped watching after series 7 then spent your time moaning about how it went to shit
I loved season 1. Season 2 was not as good i think. The story lacked focus and didn’t have an overall theme like S1. Still there where some great new characters, decent character development and a nice setup for a third season. I guess we’ll never know if S3 would have been any better.
Motherfucking Zaslav. Fuck that asshole.
Nooooooooooo 😭
Fuck Max
Imagine having the name recognition of HBO, creating a streaming service named HBO Max, and then rebranding it into… Max.
Just actual clown show shit.
Not just TV, it’s a clown shit show
What??? :'(
It really sucks. The third season would’ve been the last anyway by design. Zaslav has turned HBO/Max into the new Netflix. It’s best not to get invested in anything they make now. He’s going to cancel it.
I loved the show, but good. It was the perfect ending.
Um… So I guess I shouldn’t finish season 2 then?! It’s not a cliffhanger, is it? Unlike Santa Clarita Diet.
It’s not a cliffhanger at all. The show would be greatly improved by a third season imo just because the tone of the 2nd season is really intense compared to the first, and while S2 has a fairly satisfying ending - it could really use the catharsis of a final act.
Just to expand on myself, I’ve read that S2 had a lower budget than S1 and everybody knew they might not get a S3, so they wrote it to have a satisfying ending even though they were still hoping for S3.
It’s not a cliffhanger. I say go ahead and finish it.
Season 2’s ending actually works really well as a series finale.
No, it felt like it was written primarily as an ending.
Considering the ending, it’s not the worst cancellation Max has done. On the other hand, I really liked watching it, and I’ll be sad it’s gone.
They should take the third season over to FX.
TV series are like Schrödinger’s Cat - if you start watching one, the very act of observation may doom it.
Do people think that all shows need to or can run forever? I know every show has a fan base, but if enough people aren’t watching maybe it wasn’t that good to begin with?
This.
Like from what I heard, not as many people watched S02 as S01, and some fans were disappointed with the season as well.
I was similarly disappointed when Paramount+ cancelled Joe Pickett, but also recognized that barely anybody else was watching that show lol
Paramount+ cancelled Joe Pickett
Had not heard this, it’s too bad but I can’t say I’m surprised.
I’ll be interested to see what happens with Reacher. I loved season 1. Season 2 is good but I’m finding that I’m half watching it because I remember the story from the book and the show isn’t new anymore.
