One of the reasons that I moved away from typical Western tv shows, and favour my BBC shows and a#kdrama, is the number of episodes and seasons. I like that things are generally simple with a Korean drama: beginning, middle, end. Boom. Done and dusted. If there is more than 1 season it is usually at the behest of the network and/or fan driven? And sometimes the extra season feels like that: extra and a tiny bit outside of the first, not as good. Although some feel like they could have used a 2nd season, eg #MoonLovers:ScarletHeartRyeo 😉
Unless it is a mystery/inspector series etc.. with the majority of UK shows, IF there is more than one season, the max number of seasons is 3-4, with 6-8 eps each. Again, done and dusted.
US shows typically have anywhere from 2-11 seasons and each season has at least 20 episodes. Characters in and out, highly formulaic (not that a kdrama doesn't have a formula) and after a while I get bored. Why not leave on an up like #TedLasso or #SchittsCreek?
A small town mayor in Alabama killed himself after a conservative web site published pictures of him in women’s clothing and make-up. The closet is a hard place to be, and outing anyone can be very harmful. We need a society where it’s okay to be who you want to be so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else. Is that so hard to imagine?
@robyn Ugh, sorry to hear that! I'm still much more cautious than virtually everyone I know but not nearly as cautious as I once was. I hope that your symptoms abate quickly and that you find something entertaining but not taxing to help pass the time. For me last summer, that was jigsaw puzzles and #SchittsCreek. #COVID
“I used to think I was ugly in my 20s. I found a photo taken of me by an old bf. … I never even knew it. It made me wish I had taken more pics of myself or had let others take them. Young people, if you find yourself thinking that you take/Share too many selfies, I'm telling you right now that you're doing it enough. Your 20s & 30s go by in a blink.
You're more beautiful than you think
@emmaaum Haha, quite emotional really. I stopped watching all TV back in 2009 because there was so little of interest and good quality. When I had COVID a year ago, I watched all of #SchittsCreek and #ReservationDogs and then, found nothing of interest again. Now, my problem is finding time to fit in at least one epsiode/day and SO many on weekends!!
Schitt's Creek is a near-perfect piece of television, but it will always bother me that in the episode with the giant family portrait, David (literally a professional gallerist) didn't know that the painting could just be taken off the frame and rolled up for storage.
