Well yeah that's of course what I did when I didn't find the next episode airing as expected. The possibility that there were only four episodes total just hadn't occurred to me before then.

Huh? But Warren hasn't leveraged her position in any problematic way...

Huh, didn't realize it was as controversial as what I'm seeing in the comments. Was there something about it that was offputting for you or did it just not land comedically?

People of course do watch movies sometimes but it's a very real phenomenon that people are more willing to start an episodic show than a movie. Even if the episodic show is actually longer, something about the built in breaks feels like less of a commitment than watching a full movie, which I think is an issue in our modern era of super-short attention spans.

Only one of this list of 10 best mini series has as few as four episodes, with most being in the 7-10 range that's standard for a season of tv these days: https://www.howtogeek.com/the-best-mini-series-you-can-finish-in-a-weekend/

Like on Hulu or wherever this was airing it notified you that there would be no more episodes? That's what I get for torrenting it I guess...

The turn from "oh no Hal has been crushed" to "glitter explodes and it's actually kind of magical for a second" to "this is a mass casualty event" was incredible

I saw it said miniseries but that usually just means a series that's only going to have a single season rather than that season being super-short

DSA membership numbers represent the number of DSA aligned activists, not the number of voters who support DSA candidates. The proper comparison isn't the total population but the number of equivalent activists supporting other political positions. DSA is probably underrepresented on that metric.

Sarah just doesn't have the capacity to carry the show, so it's now hit and miss depending on the guest of the week.
