I think a show that plans for 2 seasons or less is great. Andor would have gotten stale at 5 seasons. Queens Gambit was only 1. We don’t need everything to run on forever.
However, that’s not Netflix’s problem. Their problem is that a show runner doesn’t know how long their show will run, so they can’t close out storylines correctly. Too many are left with open questions and cliffhangers because they were abruptly cancelled.
I just read an interview with the creator of Andor, and he says that the original plan was to go five seasons, but, during the production of the first season, the massive weight of the production suddenly occurred to him, and he figured he wouldn’t have enough “calories” to get through five seasons. That’s why I got shortened to two.
