Next weekend viewing

After finishing Rings of Power last weekend we can start watching another series, an episode a week if we are lucky, and my health permitting. Next up is The Devil’s Hour, starring Jessica Raine and Peter Capaldi. Looking forward to this one.

I’m wondering if they’re hoping for 2 or 3 seasons. There are 5 published books, and the first season adapts - apparently very faithfully - books 1 and 2. There could be scope for original material later. Though since it’s on Netflix it will be lucky to just get a renewal.

The Forbes reviewer has similar low expectations about Netflix renewals of this kind of show.

I did think of skipping shows like this until they get at least a second season since I was fed up of them doing a setup and not getting to the payoff. But, there are many good shows that I've enjoyed even just one season of, so, ho hum.
