    As it stands I dont see how it could go on for 4 seasons. Unless seasons 2 and 3 are nothing but filler. Or like 2 episodes long.

    It just feels like a 2 season show no matter how the story resolves (Carol wins or Carol loses).

      I didn’t think Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad could last as long as it did. Good thing I wasn’t the creator of those shows.

        there were plenty of “visible” stops/detours that could be made with the storylines of those 2 shows to keep them going though. (Regardless of outside issues like ratings or dumb execs)

        With Pluribus not so much. (Not without drastically changing what the show is)

        I’m loving Pluribus, but they’ve kinda prematurely blown their load with a couple of (pontential) story lines. We’ve seen Carol go “nuts” because of loneliness. Manousos made his journey and is meeting up with her next episode.

        Im sure Vince has a plan, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good one - or even if it is that it will be successful.

        People are people. Nobody is perfect - everyone makes mistakes/missteps. No one makes 100% of the shots they take.

      Breaking Bad was just a two season show, Walt either wins or he loses.

      Better Call Saul should have just been a one season show, we already know he’s Saul Goodman.

      /s

      Breaking Bad was interesting because we watched Walt go from a mild mannered high school chemistry teacher to murderous meth kingpin.

      Better Call Saul was interesting because we saw a screw up little brother turn into a huge drug lawyer. (It’s more than that, but I’ll keep it light on the details for now.)

      And Carol? Look at episode 1 Carol versus this past episode Carol. How will the new episode/finale change her again? There is a lot of ways the story could go, and I’m excited to see what happens.
