Is Strange New Worlds (unintentionally) mirroring Community?
- Season 1: Strong, somewhat quirky, entry in its genre with a few big swings.
- Season 2: Gets quirkier and has more big swings/gimmicks/genre homages. Some of those make up the series most acclaimed episodes, encouraging the writers to double down.
- Season 3: Feels like it half-promises getting more "normal" while diving into weirder territory. Some of the fans question if it's eating its own tail at this point.
- Season 4: Doubles down on the "weirdness" even further but seems like it might have lost some of the heart in the process. Gets very mixed reactions from the fans. Has a puppet episode.
- Season 5: (Guessing for SNW:) A little refocused and (comparatively) back-to-basics as characters leave the place that's been their home for the last few years. The series is cancelled. Until...
- Season 6: (Okay, I'm just making stuff up now:) Transfers over to another service (Yahoo Screen/HBO Max?) and wraps up while promising a movie that may or may not ever happen??
I'm almost certainly forcing and cherry-picking a bit, but the comparison is amusing me, so maybe it'll amuse someone else.
EDIT: Also, it's one season off, but Una just ran into her dopple-Deaner.
