One of the reasons that I moved away from typical Western tv shows, and favour my BBC shows and a#kdrama, is the number of episodes and seasons. I like that things are generally simple with a Korean drama: beginning, middle, end. Boom. Done and dusted. If there is more than 1 season it is usually at the behest of the network and/or fan driven? And sometimes the extra season feels like that: extra and a tiny bit outside of the first, not as good. Although some feel like they could have used a 2nd season, eg #MoonLovers:ScarletHeartRyeo 😉
Unless it is a mystery/inspector series etc.. with the majority of UK shows, IF there is more than one season, the max number of seasons is 3-4, with 6-8 eps each. Again, done and dusted.
US shows typically have anywhere from 2-11 seasons and each season has at least 20 episodes. Characters in and out, highly formulaic (not that a kdrama doesn't have a formula) and after a while I get bored. Why not leave on an up like #TedLasso or #SchittsCreek?
It was a cloudy affair, but I did have a small moment during the maximum eclipse where earth’s shadow was clearly visible at the bottom of our celestial companion.
The astronomy behind this and the incredible coincidence that we can see this from earth is humbling every time.
