Rules:
Fargo sorta negates that argument.
I love Fargo but it's ten years old now.
It's literally airing it's current season finale this week. It's ongoing and has remained fantastic all the way through.
When I got to the first few episodes of season 2 I thought it was all downhill but it picked up and on to season 3 now, was happy to see the recent episode released so I know there's more for me to get to
Legion wasn’t perfect but it was certainly complex and ambitious. Made by the same guy too.
That was released seven years ago. Point I'm making is Noah Hawley was able to make a name for himself writing these complex series before the current crunch caused a situation where a first time showrunner wouldn't be allowed to.
You might see a parallel to the New Hollywood movement that started in the late sixties and ended in the late seventies.
Noah Hawley is creating an Alien show. I'm cautiously excited.
I didn't know that. I'll definitely watch it.
