Some nice, smooth, consistent quality. Better Call Saul was in my opinion pretty consistent. Single season anime is almost always consistent, like My Dress-Up Darling or Terror in Resonance.

Not dragging on longer than the series needs to seems to be a key point.

    The Expanse was good but it’s a damn shame it didn’t get three more seasons to cover the final book trilogy. It omitted some of the most amazing setpiece points.

      Oh yeah, there’d be some pretty good space fight set pieces. But trying to visually conceptualize all the Proto-molecule Builders and “Whatever the fuck extra dimensional critters they pissed off” probably would have been too difficult to do in a way to make everybody happy.

      Also, what was it… like a 30 year time jump for the last chunk of books? That would have been a miserable thing to put all the main cast through for another 3~5 seasons.

        It was a 10 year time jump so here’s hoping we get a reboot in a few years and also it was cancelled because the guy that played Alex the pilot turned out to be a sex pest.

        Nevermind you’re right it was a 30 year time jump I just accepted it as the sort of future tech they had could explain away the fact Holden and friends would all be old and decrepit by that time in universe.
