    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?

      Because I don’t.
