Are American tv shows stuck in Act 2 for their entire runtime between season 1 and final season? - eviltoast

Season 1s are great, setup, some payoff, a bit of lead into the overarching story. Then season 2 to X. The heroes win and then lose in the final episode, cliffhanger to next season. People get bored. Final season is announced and they wrap up the show.

    Do you really not see the parallels to real life of a religiously-ruled country who has enshrined in law ways to take control of fertile women’s reproductive rights? Really?

    The US is becoming more and more Giléad with every passing day.

      I don’t see anyone taking away rights of women, and America is secular.

      You can draw parallels between anything, thats not really pertinent.

        Do ya remember Roe vs. Wade or the recent decision that overturned it, thus removing the rights of a woman to decide whether or not she will continue a pregnancy?

          Judges should not make laws, congress should. Roe v Wade was a bad judgement. Also congress had decades to make it a law, and they failed to do so.

            You’re using purist arguments to deny what’s evident. Your account name should have been a clue that you’re a troll. Goodbye.

            You’re getting downvotes, but everything you said was correct. Congress should have made the ruling more than that, and Dems had years to make actual laws to uphold what Roe represented.

            However, Republican opinion is specifically what eroded the opinion that upheld Roe v Wade, and Republicans get to hold the blame for what many women in many states now have to live with.
