    I wish the streamers would take a mini-series approach and just do a solid 8 episodes and then end the show. Or two seasons of six episodes and a Christmas special.

    This would let the writers do plots and character development, it'd allow the crew to put everything into those short runs, we would avoid zombie shows, we'd get more variety and I think better content. The advantage for the audience is that you know what you're getting into, and you know this is it, so make the most of it or ignore it.

      This to me was the most impressive aspect of The Bear's first season. The scope of the story was fully realized within the season, leaving the audience fulfilled. There was a window to something more, but in the chance the show didn't renew it didn't leave any loose ends.

    I enjoyed the first but couldn't get into the second season. Not sure why. The first episode just didn't hold my attention I guess.

      I agree. The first season had a magic to it that the second season couldn't quite reach. I watched all of season two, but it only made me want the story to end with the finale of season one.

      Same, loved the first season, but I'm just not invested in season 2. It feels like the characters are being written differently to the first season, and we don't have the same fun dynamic from the first season of the mixed crew.

      Season 2 feels like they shoved 3 seasons into one, like Rome had to do. It does not have the same feel as the first season as a result but there's a lot of fun ideas that fans of the first season...

        Man I loved Rome but it definitely would have benefited with season 2 split into two seasons.

    It lasted about as long Stede Bonnet’s pirate career, so that’s something.

    Oh man, I have a coworker who will be crushed. She loved that show so much. I have spent countless hours listening to her talking about it. (I just thought it was OK.)

      That seems to be the vibe. Either you think it's the best thing ever or it's decent. I tried at least twice to get into it.
