What’s a book you think deserves a sequel?

Seeing how I do more screen time than reading at the moment, I feel the need to chat about sequels to series.

I love a good series, crime/drama my most favourite and something the French are really good at. The Scandi ones are worth watching, but a tad predictable ( a detective returns to their home town/village at the same time a child goes missing or a murder. But I still enjoy them.

I seem to identify with Danish and enjoy the Polish productions and absolutely love Irish ones, The Hispanic can be quite feisty and captivating.

But I digress. You get involved, identify/like the cast, the script, the cinematography watch a season or two are totally hooked, and then find Prime or Amazon have cancelled it.

It’s understandable initially if it doesn’t get good tv figures/ratings, but things have changed now. The suits need to be a bit more forward-thinking. With healthy streaming audiences reaching far beyond their wildest dreams.

They cancel something as the original viewers did not engage back then, but now the world population is their potential reach.

I’ve lost count of shows I was gutted to find had no more seasons to follow.

But maybe in the interim, the execs have got wind of the changes. Obviously, the cast and crew need to know pretty sharpish if their services are going to be needed. Else, they need to move on. I get it. It’s a gamble, but that is what they get paid shed loads for.

What do you think? Are you disappointed when a series you have invested in is cancelled?
