Comment on Are American tv shows stuck in Act 2 for their entire runtime between season 1 and final season?

It’s not a creative or artistic choice; British channels simply have minuscule budgets compared to their American counterparts.

And yet it often leads to more satisfying narratives.

I think it’s for the best. Too much money in the US is spent on bullshit.
In any case, US versions of British series are almost certainly worse.

Sherlock proves it. It was given too much budget and time and what we got was overproduced bullshit.

Couldn’t agree more. The final season was such nonsense it soured the whole show and I’ve never bothered to watch it through again (ignoring the incessant “tell not show” with Sherlock being brilliant but never really showing that, and how the mysteries were never deductible by the audience.
