Speaking of the Covid, and by extension, time constraints, I wonder what the series looks like with 15-20 episodes instead of just 9. I mean, think about the Netflix Marvel shows which were not only 13 episodes, but also had longer run times. I think with longer run times and maybe a more relaxed completion date, we get a better developed show and a more complete finale.
To be sure, I'm still pretty happy with the show, but I feel like we could have gotten another 5 episodes without losing much in the way of quality. Either that or longer run times.
I feel the opposite. Felt like the perfect length. Feel the same way about the Mandalorian. Almost all Netflix shows are too long per episode and about one or two episodes too long per season and they hit a narrative slog because of it. The 8-9 episodes with 30 to 40 minute runtimes keeps thing lean and focused.
