Disney+ cancels The Acolyte season 2

6. My observation is that many shows should have been made as a mini-series

This isn't a comment about The Acolyte specifically, because I didn't watch that one.

But the TV producers and show-runners need to realize that we're all better off when they tell the story - start to finish - in a finite number of episodes. Whether it's 8 episodes, or 10 or 12 ... just tell the whole story and then move on.

When they take a good story (sometimes it's a bestseller book) and then try to pivot into an ongoing series, they can't ever resolve anything. They use cliffhangers, red herrings, and other false manipulation. I'm to the point now that I only watch mini-series, not open-ended "series" shows.

It's so disappointing to get interested in a "series" and then find out they decided to cancel it because the viewer numbers didn't excite the advertisers enough.
