I mean, the whole point of the show is a critique on fascism.

It's definitely already outstayed its welcome in the USA.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 70 points 2 months ago

We tried and failed, you're on your own now

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 63 points 2 months ago

As a huge fan of the show im glad it's ending too. Anymore multiple seasons of resetting the power balance would kill any interest.

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

Looking at you, Grays Anatomy

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 33 points 2 months ago

He's probably been approached by one too many chuds that worship their idea of Homelander and that think he is his character.

[-] Belgdore@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

He is apparently an asshole based on his bar fighting and how he treats his costars.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Perfectly casted.

[-] piyuv@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

It’s already ran too long imho. Season 3 amounted to nothing.

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 6 points 2 months ago

Yep I totally lost interest a while ago it got so repetitive

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

I lost interest during season 2 because it was just too on the nose and obvious, which is odd given that the Ennis original (which I love dearly) is about as unsubtle as you can get.

The other issue was I felt like they largely threw the anti-corporation themes out of the window in favour of making it a superhero show.

I loved the first season, but the way it was evolving in the second just didn't sit well with me.

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 6 points 2 months ago

Yep it steadily declined endless "homelander bad but can't be stopped because reasons"

if I see one of the boys thrown backwards into a wall by a supe and be perfectly fine after ONE MORE TIME...

[-] CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Agreed entirely. A show should last only as long as it takes to tell its story. 2-3 seasons is fine. Hell, even limited one season shows are great.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

limited one season shows

That's called a "mini series". :)

And BTW, Shogun was the finest thing I've seen in years, maybe ever. My wife and I were drooling for the next episode, week in, week out.

I admit to prejudice. Watched the original mini series many times growing up, read the book three times. My wife's half Japanese, really seems to dislike Japanese anything (🤷🏻), still loved every second of it.

Yeah, last season wasn't great. Hopefully it'll end strong.

[-] dumblederp@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

It wont. It's like squeezing an orange, the first few seasons got all the $juice$ now they're wringing a dry husk with tired writers. May as well get Matt Parker and Trey Stone in to wrap up the show at this point.

That would actually be awesome!

"I dont want to play the Facist supersoldier anymore."

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Im quite sure he doesnt have eye lasers.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Homelander kills the shows version of "Trump", then takes complete power. As his first act as president he puts tariffs on the world.

[-] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I thought that Homelander was the version of trump ?

Yeah, don't want a supernatural situation going on.

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

I mean Sam and Dean could have gone on for another 10 years and I wouldn't have complained.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

looking at supernatural, kripkes other creation. when the 2 new showrunners took over, it became nothing more than fan/slashfiction for fans who becames extremely obsessed with the characthers.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

All for it. I rarely find a show beyond sitcom type comedies that isn't dissapointing by season 4. 3 seasons of a good show keeps me simultaneously wanting more but also secretly glad that that's how I'm left feeling. Feel the same way with a really good course at a restaurant.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 2 months ago

His glasses look like those novelty ones with the eyes printed on them.

[-] Alpha71@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I always say a show should only run 5 seasons at most, and if it's very popular to just do the occasional mini series.

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago
[-] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

SG1 only ran 5 seasons, season 3 through season 7. Nothing else was real. Just a bad dream.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Six seasons and a movie

[-] LMurch 4 points 2 months ago

Fucking Homelander.

[-] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I wish severence would have ended at season 2, exactly the way it did. I'm bracing for dissapointment.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I love the first two seasons of Severance, but even if the third will be bad, it won't affect my feelings towards the first two.

Unless it's GoT season 8 levels of bad, but that's probably not possible.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 months ago

You say that, but sometimes a continuation is so bad that it like goes back in time and somehow taints your memories.
