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. :)

Yeah, and many series don’t have great finales because there’s always an angle of maybe continuing the show.

It's so easy to get your heart broken by a cancellation! Sometimes you just want closure. I definitely have Station Eleven on my to-watch list.
Let me know when you watch it! P.S. The score is perfect to write to.
