I wish most shows were a limited series to be honest. Like a movie, the limited series is great because it has a set beginning, middle and end. The structure makes sense.

Whereas most shows are purposefully trying to impress and be renewed year after year, and they suffer as a result!

I'm glad you mentioned cancellations. There are so many good artistic and creative reasons for limited series, sure, but in a world where streaming services cancel beautiful series on a whim, I think a lot of us are reluctant to start new things! With a limited series, you at least know you'll get the whole story.

And sometimes a few episodes is all it takes to make something extraordinary--can't help but think of the best TV show I've ever seen, Station Eleven! Definitely add it to your watch list if you haven't seen it already. :)
