    If they can keep the ball rolling with solid storytelling, I’m willing to give any show six seasons and a movie’s worth of my attention. Any more than that and you’re just getting greedy.

    That said, I will say the chances of a show getting stale, losing talent, or somehow jumping the shark in some other way gets higher the longer it’s around, so I understand your trepidation.

      I mean if they have a clear plan, awesome, but just taking it as they go, that’s an infinite mystery box.

      Obviously not every show needs an ending fully developed from the start, but a show like this does. (And that isn’t to say if the story needs to change later you can’t change it, but your need a direction).

      Basically at the end of Severance season 2, I can’t be left with another cliffhanger like the first. They can leave room and leave me wanting more, but they have to answer some of the questions they asked in season 1.
