    It’s weird they were able to get Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul done back to back and I consider that grade A television. This new format of smaller shows every two years just helps contribute to cancellations.

      Got any examples?

      I think it’s the opposite…waiting two years is what they believe is the sweet spot so people mistake effort put in by waiting for liking the next season…they’re just doing what gets the most eyes on the shows.

      The formula is currently the least possible amount of episodes over the longest possible time. Won’t change until people become less instead of more interested after 2 years.

      I wonder if Stranger Things will change anything…they waited so long in between seasons they have 30 year old high school kids, and nobody I know is up to date on the show.

      I would say cast delays but in Pluribus case there are only 3 main characters. Maybe Koumba and Laxmi as support.

        They also have four of the characters in the US now, so international shooting is less of an issue. Not to mention they’ve been doing a lot of vfx volume shooting to cut corners already.
