    not just netflix, every streaming service/studio does that now.

    I really like the artist/author Brian K Vaughn. Millions of people do. One of the best selling authors of graphic novels that exists.

    Just finished reading “Y: The Last Man”, oh, there’s a TV show?.. canceled after one season…

    “Paper Girls”?.. canceled after one season…

    If they try to tell me that “Saga” is in the works for a TV adaptation (which… fucking good luck) I would hardly be exited for it. Because why get my hopes up? The books are amazing anyways. The art is beautiful in the way it was illustrated. The only advantage a TV show has ever given is being able to easily share the story with family and watch together.

      Apple doing it right. They have Silo and they just finished season 3 and 4 already filmed and will be out next year.

        Apple isn’t perfect. They cancelled Sunny on a cliffhanger after a single season.

          Sunny was great. That was a show I couldn’t get my friends to watch for some reason.

          They cancelled Big Door Prize on a cliffhanger too.

          But overall, I do think the Sci-Fi shows they make are of good quality.

            Yes, in terms of the quality of their shows they are consistently high compared to competitors.

        Then you have pluribus which is going to be at least two years between seasons. If I had known that I wouldn’t have bothered with the first season.

        If anything they’re adding too many seasons! Ted Lasso was done. Also I thought For all mankind was done… Had such a great finale. Then the latest season dropped!

        The skuttlebutt is there’s a spinoff coming too. Based on a new book coming out.

        So we will see. Either way good stuff.

      He has specifically said Saga will never be adapted while he has the power to say so. He says the story fits the comic medium perfectly and would be diluted going to film. This was even before Y and PG got canned. I really love his work, and actually enjoyed the 2 shows.

      I just went ahead and read those Brian K Vaughn series without ever watching the shows because they actually have endings; except for Saga, of course, which will doubtless continue in fits and starts for another twenty years.
