    The Pitt S02 was not as good at season 1, but still quality TV that I watched week to week.

    I only bring that up because there has been no shortage of streaming era season 1 bangers, whose season 2 releases hit like a wet fart, such as:

    • Fallout
    • Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
    • The Last of Us

    Luckily The Pitt didn’t do that so I’m left wondering if the yearly release schedule helps projects maintain better levels of creative momentum and relative consistency between seasons.

      I do agree the yearly release is a plus.

      I can’t speak for Monarch (and I enjoyed The Last of Us season 2), but I think the simplicity of The Pitt is what helps keep it consistently good. (Two seasons is hard to declare a pattern, but I’m going to.)

      If you only watched season 2 of The Pitt you still know what’s going on.

      It also helps being a 15 episode season. Things can happen slowly and are given time to breathe. Most streaming shows are 8 to 10 episodes and sometimes it’s just go go go.

      Don’t get me wrong I don’t think shows need to stretch to fill more episodes. You can tell an amazing story in 8 episodes.
