Evidently I have finished “Talamasca” on AMC. Tuned in last night wondering where my new episode was. Looked it up — that was it. Six episodes. Not eight. Not 13. Not 26.
Six episodes.
This wasn’t a mini series. Will I have to wait two years for six more episodes? How pathetic.
Slow Horses also does 6-episode seasons, however there the length feels right. They also release a new season every year so it feels like a good pace. If they did more episodes then I think it’d drag
I think Slow Horses goes for 6 episodes because that’s more in line with traditional British series length?
Broadchurch clocks in at 8 episodes per series/season, Derry Girls was around 6 episodes per season too, IIRC.
Slow Horses shoot 2 seasons back to back. Most British shows are 6 episodes as that fits best into the annual scheduling. British audiences expect variety rather than quantity.
Television is lost technology
Welcome to the world post writer’s strike.
was the show any good? I have them all queued up but haven’t started it yet.
It was a fun watch. Just wayyyy too short, which felt like a ripoff.
AMC has done that for shows for a long time now. But that network is legendarily cheap.
I am with you man, seasons are so short now.
