More geek things should be stand alone. One season of a show. One movie. One novel. One comic miniseries.

The limited series is underrated.

So much agreement. Stories should end and new stories should begin.

Used to be the common case, at least with books and movies. Always gone up against some economies of scale when it comes to comics and TV shows though.

Agreed. The trouble is the demand: If people stopped buying tickets/subscriptions to sequels, they would vanish in six months.

wish we got more of those that set out to be those, we sort of get them but mostly someone stopped a thing reaching its completion rather than doing a natural flow of media.

As much as I loved Alien: Earth, it took a huge gamble on getting a second season with its storytelling.

Heck, I recently re-watched the first season of Stranger Things and, had it been all there was, the narrative would've worked as a coherent single story.
