I agree. I’ve said the way this could work is dropping short “seasons” with much higher production value in cycles. So they can drop more seasons of a show than any other content because they’re used to high volume, but slower than a daily pace because they need to reduce the output to up the quality. Think one Beyond Salem set after another. Actors could sign on for a number of cycles, then be free to do other things. Maybe they drop an episode a day for a few weeks. Or maybe they drop 10 episodes at a time at intervals. Whatever it is, they need to make it a streaming show.
And for sure, the continuity problems have to be eliminated. This means better planning of the story and more commitment from and to the actors so they can complete arcs.
As I’m writing this, I don’t see them managing a show restructuring. Not if the powers that be are still pretending this launch was planned all along to be done like this and everything is going to be the same but with curse words. To paraphrase Dorothy Parker, this isn’t going to be plain terrible. This is going to be fancy terrible. Terrible with raisins in it.
