Anon editor used wrong plot details (Ep.1)

[edit]

In addition to the excessive detail, properly tagged by YoungForever, the IP plot editor used the book's Oklahoma setting instead of the HBO screenplay's Georgia locales. — DennisDallas (talk) 08:23, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

?? Why is it called a "miniseries"?

[edit]

Maybe 10 hours is short enough to be a miniseries, but 10 episodes is long enough to be a series, here lately especially. It's spread over 10 weeks. I would think it should be called a series. 35.129.66.46 (talk) 06:10, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is a miniseries because it is a limited series according reliable sources on this article. Miniseries has a limited number of episodes and a chance of being renewed for a second season is slim as the developer or creator is only looking at ending the story at just the limited number of episodes. — YoungForever(talk) 06:54, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's a miniseries. Miniseries isn't just 3 or 5 episodes in today's television, it's a story being told in a single season, shorter than the common network seasons of 20+ episodes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.18.6.178 (talk) 13:32, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, but, now, the finale starts with the words "Season Finale". Is it still a miniseries (even though, arguably, and according to common sense, it's really a series in the first place, just a short one, but you guys say it's a miniseries), is it STILL a miniseries if it's anticipated to have more seasons?? 35.129.66.46 (talk) 04:15, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's been mistitled as a 'mini-series'. It is one series long.Halbared (talk) 12:43, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A second season has been written and is being shopped. It's definitely not meant to be a mini series even if it doesn't get the second season. The name should be changed. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 17:06, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
