What’s funny to me is that Netflix cancels so many shows that end on a cliffhanger but this particular show had a proper ending that it didn’t necessarily need a season 2.

because this show is vastly more successful than the majority of what Netflix produces

I hope they copy what they did here and moving forward try to resolve most story threads in one season.

Seems like all streaming needs to do this. That way you at least have a miniseries which can hold value for the service over time. Also it would open up options for a show that pickups an audience later in its run...

While it would be great to never get unfinished shows, limiting storytelling to single season for every show would...kinda suck. Some shows need more space than 10 episodes..

This! So many shows on Netflix could use a final wrap up season meanwhile this show works so well as a limited series! The only way I see >!the two leads being connected in another plot is if it has something to do with national cybersecurity. And even then most of the other leads are dead or presumably in jail though I’m sure they’ll figure out a way to shoehorn in the living characters.!<

To be honest >!I was pleasantly surprised they didn’t leave what happened with his dad as a cliffhanger for a potential S2. A tiny cliffhanger like that wouldn’t have been so bad but I majorly respect them for not leaving any threads in case they got cancelled. But of course now they have to make up an entirely new story. But hey that basically worked for The White Lotus S2 so why not?!<

I agree. But, judging by the quality of the show, whenever they have successive seasons, it’s usually poorer quality as they try to get every character involved in the plot and it’s super unrealistic. I sort of see it going the route of Designated Survivor.

They're going to drop the woman in the second season. They always do in movie sequels. And the way it ends sets that up. So full of clichés. But yes, I watched the whole thing. Hate watched.

Dont know how the book does it but season 2 dont really have to follow the same guy.

They probably will tho but season 1 had a nice ending.
