just because you are unhappy with the outcome of the situation
I’ve never seen this show. I’m probably never going to. Apparently I wouldn’t be getting a complete story anyway, and for reasons yooou have outlined, that aspect is the director’s fault. He had two seasons to tell a complete story. He did not. He did not, knowing full well Netflix doesn’t like doing third seasons. He did not, knowing his show was unusually expensive and complicated. He did not, knowing the viewership wasn’t about to skyrocket from the known figures for season one.
And for some reason you said he’s not to blame for the incomplete story he told.
Are you suggesting he’s an idiot? Because even idiots knew about Netflix’s two-season limit. It did not sneak up on him. It was tiredly predictable. It was, and remains, the most likely outcome for any Netflix series lucky enough to get a second season. No crystal ball is required for this basic pattern recognition. Sneer all you like; it is common knowledge.
Cliffhanger endings at the best of times are a frustrating gamble against cancellation. Creators are as responsible for them as they are for every the rest of their story.
Okay, you’ve gotta be jerking me around. You can’t actually be serious. And you haven’t even seen the show, so I don’t even know what you’re on about.
I’ll just leave you with this - Mindhunters had two FANTASTIC seasons and were setting up for bigger stories to tell. The scope of the two seasons are already huge and a season 3 is completely not out of the question, i.e. they are not milking it just for the sake of continuing the show. And remember, these guys were making this back in 2017 so I guess you are wiser than them for being in 2023 and knowing more about their future?
Sneering harder won’t make Netflix’s long-running habit any less predictable.
All I’m on about is what you’ve said. You refuse to say Fincher is responsible for the state of the show: incomplete and dead. Even though he’d be an idiot to expect a third season, knowing his budget and viewership numbers, and he is so thoroughly in charge of writing that he IS the show.
And now it sounds like you are trying to cope with the show being stone dead, by suggesting a third season is “not out of the question.” To paraphrase an annoying comment I recently saw: are you expecting everyone and their grandma to come running, so he can fix everybody’s schedule on a vastly lower budget?
You aren’t listening, at all.

Because I don’t.
