I can understand even though I like it! I believe it’s because of the philosophical question I ask myself when watching it. I find the concept fascinating. Is the other you really you, or is one a slave. Notably with Helly when her innie don’t want to work for Lumon.

Breaking bad, soprano, dexter!
For the last two because it’s too slow paced! Breaking bad I believe having watched first season but couldn’t get into it.

I watch the last of us but a lot episodes are also slow paced and if it wasn’t for short seasons and not watching it alone probably I would have dropped it.

At last house of dragons! Would really want to like it as it’s my kind of show.

Yes, make no sense to me why they don’t release it weekly. It would make more sense. Especially with episodes more than 90 minutes long…

IMHO long ago pacing was better. You had 20-24 episodes with a pause mid season. Airing date would start in october and ends in april/may or something like that. You didn’t have to wait more than 8 months to get next season.

Nowadays what would be ideal in my point of view would be :

• 8 to 12 episodes to allow for more development
• release each weeks and not all at once (thankfully a lot of network still do that) so you can reflect and discuss about episodes. It makes tv shows more memorable. Back then it was nice when lost aired each week and you had plenty of theories flying around!
• pretend season 1 and 2 are actually season 1 part 1 and 2 if it doesn’t ends with first part. Release second part something like 3-4 months instead of at best a year later.
• if show works and network is up to another season decide it before part 1 ends so there is a 10–12 months maximum wait after part 2 ends.

Yes basically not a lot different as before!
But Sadly it’s unlikely as doing small season minimize risks if shows is not working.
