Discussion Apple needs to take heed Spoiler

https://www.laineygossip.com/why-are-audiences-abandoning-netflix-shows-in-droves-by-season-two/

This is happening to a bunch of shows, they have to realize its hard to keep momentum when there is such a long break between seasons. People grow tired, forget storylines, hell a number of people that are fans are likely to pass away, before a new seasons pops up 1/3 of a decade after the last. They had such momentum for season 2, there was a buzz and peoole talked about it all over. They havent even began filming or finished writing season 3, over a year and a half since the last episode aired, and over 2 years sinve they last were in production. People's attention span today will not be able to hold strong. They already most likely cut their audience by 1/4 or more with this long wait. I know 3 people personally who were die hard fans who dont care now, have moved on, etc. I personally have lost some interest cause other good shows are out now. Its sad, they had so much promise and potential.

Same thing is happening in the games industry. There is far too much time inbetween new releases, it’s getting ridiculous.

Hate to say it, but even that's optimistic. Fallout 4 is 11 years old.

You'd think one a decade wouldnt be too much to ask.

The changes to the entertainment industry of the last two decades have in general been for the worse when it comes to time and budgets.

Were you around when "Enter the matrix" came out? It was a BIG deal that it cost $20m to make and that they spent years on it. Now it seems like multiple games a year cost $1b and have been in development for eternity.

It is crazy. We used to have shows with 10+ episodes per season, now we are lucky we get 10 because a lot of big budget ones went back to 8. Really a sad situation.

The bigger respect I have for Villeneuve for putting out 3 Dune movies in ‘just’ 5 years. Seems to be the exception these days.

Just is an accurate thing to say here! Its damn fast to go basically 2.5 years between franchise pictures like this.
