      So, it turns out that Cavill is a passionate fan of the source material and really wanted to do a good show, but was put with writers who hated it and joked about how bad it was.

      It's quite sad, I think, because if he'd been given good writers we could have had a better show.

      I don't know a lot of adult, western drama animation with more than two or three seasons. Maybe there's a practical reason for that.

      I low-key predicted that casting Cavill would bite them in the ass. A-listers are expensive and eventually will receive good enough offers that will make it impractical for TV shows to cover. And who would figure a Netflix show would have a fourth season? That's probably the extent of his contract.

        A-listers are expensive and eventually will receive good enough offers that will make it impractical for TV shows to cover.

        From what I have read on the matter (and little of it seems to have much in the way of a direct source so take it with a grain of salt) Cavill seems to be leaving because the show is not staying true to the book source material. He was on record saying that he would happily stay for all seven seasons as long as they were telling great stories, and he talked a lot about how much he loved playing this character, and how much he loved the books, and how much he was clashing with the showrunners and what they were trying to do. So it might not be as much about the money available, or him being an A-list actor, and more about the fact that they aren't telling the story that he wants for Geralt of Rivia.

          I would definitely put Bojack more on the territory of comedy shows with a lot of drama. I really like Castlevania and Invincible, didn't see the rest.

          There's like two Clone Wars cartoons, maybe more? Which one are you talking about?

              Okay, nice. Maybe I'll check it out on Disney+. Is the other not good? I'm fond of Genndy Tartakovsky due to Dexter's Laboratory.

      Animation would've certainly alleviated the problems with dodgy CGI or downright awful costume design.
