  Juliet literally wasn’t in a whole ass book at all

    And?

    They had other characters there, it built tension, but finally, HAVE SEASONS WITH LESS OF A BREAK!!!

    Season 2 could have been cheaper without Reverend mother Juliet, it could have been a half season with all these supporting characters we otherwise don’t care about, and the 4 episodes could have ended with a teaser that she was alive.

    They’re throwing so much bullshit at the wall while trying to make it ‘prestige’, that it takes years and we stop caring about the characters and plot.

    Slow horses is the opposite of this, short, cheap seasons, but more frequent so you enjoy the plot progression.

      Now imagine Slow Horses but they tell Gary Oldman to fuck right off for a season without pay.

      TV doesn’t work like that.

      For the same reason The Expanse had to shuffle plot lines around so that the main characters had screen time and didn’t have to skip full seasons

        It absolutely works like that.

        Snowpiercer was worse.

        You are obsessed with the American version of seasons, let it be more flexible, like the European version.

        Or the walking dead variants, the characters aren’t in all of them, it’s like that, make it 2 series, wool with what’s her face, and the silo with the others.
