how is anyone meant to tell an original story these days
you make a season of television. nobody watches it because they're scared to get attached in case it gets cancelled. so it gets cancelled
you make a season of television. it's the first part of a multi-season story. people complain that it feels unfinished. so it gets cancelled
you make a season of television. it's the first part of a multi-season story. you sacrifice the storytelling so that it at least has an ending in case it doesn't get renewed. people complain that it feels like it was forced towards an endpoint for the sake of it. so it gets cancelled
you make a season of television. it's the 19th reboot this decade of franchise xyz. the execs won't let you do anything new with it. it's soulless and predictable and relies entirely on self-referential humour and nostalgia. half of the people watching are hatewatching it and will slate you for ruining their favourite childhood show, but all publicity is good publicity. so it gets renewed for 6 seasons and a movie.
