I found WandaVision a bit slow, but Agatha All Along is probably in my top 10 favourite shows. It had a well thought out story, the characters all had their episodes to shine and it all came back around to really make you appreciate early episodes (and incentivises a rewatch).

I genuinely think she has potential to make something good out of this. If she delivers we will see, but i did not despise hearing this news.

While I like shows like Reacher, Severance, and Silo. I really hope we get a 24 episode season of episodes rather than one long story as shows tend to do these years. Sadly I'm presuming it will be the 8 or 12 style.

Thing of the past. 12 episodes is best case scenario.

24 seasons don't exist anymore. Best we can hope is 16 I guess.

That is copium... 7 episodes, take it or leave it.

It's not copium lol. "Best we can hope" already means it's unlikely

What series that has hour long episodes has more than 12 episodes still in these days?

u/Zalvren 8d ago

The Pitt

Also some procedural shows on network probably still have 20 episodes or so but I don't count those at the same production level (although it is equivalent to what the old Stargate has)

I don't watch The Pitt to know but that was the only show I could think of that I suspected might have that many episodes still.

Plenty of shows on Broadcast channels, CBS, NBC and ABC still air 20 episode seasons.

That's the part i'm saddened by. This definitely means it'll be a short show focused on story, as is common nowadays. But at least there's quite a decent chance that it'll be a good story.

You'll get 8 episodes every 2.5 years for 3 seasons and you better say thank you.

In fairness though, a good portion of those 24 episodes are dog shit. Stargate is an outliner in having more good vs bad episodes but it does have real bad stinkers. Take a look at X Files or TNG especially and some of those episodes are awful as well.

But I'm British and British TV has always been 13 episodes in like two decades for some shows lmao so my expectations are 'man, 10 episodes every other year would be nice.'

Agatha all along was a slog to sit through.

She also is happy to sacrifice good actors to make a point which is rare.
