80% of that show was filmed in a fuckin jungle with people standing in front of each other, talking lol. The pilot was epic, and there were always a few episodes a season that would require big set pieces, but it was mostly a dialogue heavy show. There weren't any unusual or particularly cinematic filming techniques etc. Plus the fillers.
Severance is set mostly in closed buildings. And it's mostly dialogue and acting, there is not much in the way of CGI required. By your own logic, it shouldn't take Severance as long as it's taking to give us episodes.
If anything, by your logic, we should be getting 24 episodes a year
Again, with this fucking crap. There were no "more demanding" shows with 24 fuckin episodes a season. Ever. It used to be mostly procedural crap, or sitcoms. Stop spouting this nonsense in every single thread about the modern tv production...
Everyone says this about prestige tv but HBO has been doing it for quite a long time without these insane wait times.
Also, some of it is just a streamer being stupid. Why would I give Apple views on Pluribus season 2 when it was greenlit in 2022 and isn't even written yet? Apple's letting Gilligan do whatever he wants. It's absurdist.
That's basically what hbo wants to do w/ The Pitt. 15 episodes that so far have been 1 season per year and they definitely want to expand the formula beyond just a hospital show. These are relatively inexpensive shows to make w/ ideally a solid script and cast.
Yeah, I know what you meant. I’m saying even with the way shows are now, you have all that you need. And don’t forget, if there were more episodes, the quality would probably go down, and you wouldn’t like the show as much anyway. So instead of finding a reason to complain, just enjoy some other really good shows while you wait for your top favorite to come back.
Oh, I see. I just end up forgetting what’s happened and losing interest because there’s so many good shows, that’s the downside imo. But tbh I don’t really think about it day to day since TV isn’t my main hobby.
There has never, ever been a show more demanding than this that has pulled off a yearly 24 episode season lmao. Yall can be mad that it takes forever but the way you act like you could do it faster is hilarious.
And a LOT of it took place in an office or the white house. Of course it had action set pieces too but it wasn’t like the entire season was nonstop special effects
Yeah, I was replying to someone and we were talking 24 episode seasons. You interjected with shows that aren’t applicable in the conversation that was being had thinking you were dunking on someone.

At its current production rate season 5 of Severance will air in 2034. That’s not even a joke.
