If there was a show that happened to be on the same caliber as something like Sopranos or Wire, but the catch was that it spans 500 episodes and each episode is about 2 and a half hours long...would you watch it?
>>214177245Of course. It would be something to do rather than watch the wire or the sopranos for the 40th time.
>>214177280You wouldn't be turned off by how time consuming it would be? I mean, you could probably watch several different movies and tv shows in that same timeframe lol.Honestly, main reason I'm asking this is cause most shows have a 60 minute runtime max. I've always wondered how a show with full movie-lengrh episodes would work.
>>214177539Not really, if it were actually good I probably wouldnt mindNow stranger things season 4 about half the episodes were two hours long and that gave me a screaming headache so if the show sucks then it would probably be a bad idea
Cancel Tony's Door Dash? Nah, no way.
>>214177583this it doesnt matter how long it is if its a good show, I'd just stop watching all the garbage I put on and finally have something to take up some time, ive pretty much watched every major drama series there is and even some lesser ones
>>214177605I always expected to get fucked out of that order
It would literally be impossible to keep the consistency.
2 and a half hours is insane. I think the max length for an episode is 90 minutes. 90 minutes can work, as that's kind of a "short" movie in the grand scheme of things. But anything over 90 minutes is just overkill.>>214177972Eh, not neccesarily. If you have an evolving narrative and wide range of characters, you could do a lot of shit. It would be insanely difficult though lol.

You can get away with anything if you're a talented enough writer.
Depends - would it be glorifying low IQ criminals like every shit piece of media from the last 30 years?
>>214178629>glorifyinglol
>>214177245fuck the wire
>>214177539>I've always wondered how a show with full movie-lengrh episodes would work.It wouldn't. Not because people wouldn't watch it, but because it's unfeasible from a production standpoint. It would cost ridiculous amounts of money and man-hours to make, especially today with the inflated production costs of modern televisions. Seasons of tv nowadays can take a year to make and only have 10 episodes. Besides the insane budget required, the cast and crew would get burnt out. Even by the end of the Sopranos a lot of the actors were ready to walk away. Shows like that, you're on set for long hours. You get tired of it eventually. The overall length of the series isn't really an issue, people would still watch it. We're talking 500 episodes at 2.5 hours each, that's about 1250 hours of tv. There are soap operas and franchises with similar or even longer runtimes than that. But those are things like soap operas, which have low budgets, and rotating casts. Or franchises like Star Trek or Law and Order. Star Trek probably has 700-800 hours of content and I'm sure there are people who have watched it all multiple times over - but that's several different shows, spanning decades, with multiple casts and crews. And let's be honest, most of these shows don't have the consistent quality that a show like the Sopranos does. Even the most diehard Trek fan will tell you there were lots of shitty episodes. So again, it's not really a question of if people would watch it, it's just that the production is unfeasibly large. It is a long runtime for single episodes though. I imagine people would just break up the episodes into multiple watches. Especially in the digital age, there is no real commitment to sit in front of the tv for an entire uninterrupted episode. People would stop and start.
>>214177245Yes i would.There cant be 'too much' of the good thing. There are hardly any actually good TV-series in the first place.
>>214177245>there will never be kino on the same level as Sopranos ever again
