The problem with streaming is that shows can get cancelled out of nowhere. Shows like Mindhunter, The OA, The Society, I Am Not Okay With This, and Hannibal were all cancelled before they could finish their stories. That’s why miniseries are so satisfying. They tell a full story in just a handful of episodes. No waiting for a new season. No risk of getting ghosted by the platform. But even miniseries can go off the rails. Many of them start strong but completely fall apart by the end.
