And then when you are finally hyped that season 2 is going to be packed with surfing, they announce its cancelled

Remember when flashbacks used to take 10-30 seconds instead of interrupting the story by spending an entire episode going into pointless detail about things you've been given no reason to care about yet?

And a season would be 36, maybe 72 episodes long, for syndication. Nowadays you get 10. Maybe another 8 if it does super well. And then that's it, because Netflix is fully "no take only throw" about time-sinks like The Office.

Honestly this is why I liked the live action Cowboy Bebop. It wasnt great, but it was fun.

I absolutely hate how nearly everything is serialized and not episodic these days. Everything is dark, and gritty, and edgey, and moody, and serious. And nearly all of it is absolute garbage. I barely watch TV shows or movies these days because there is very little that I think is even good.

Looking at you, Supacell. Could have done the series in 2 episodes.
