Incidentally I went look for the best limited series shows, but aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes do a poor job separating them from other TV shows. Right now I see "Watchmen: Season 1" and "Unbelievable: Season 1" which as far as I know were only meant to be one season. Yet Chernobyl and Mare of Easttown are labeled as Miniseries and Limited Series, respectively. What's the difference between the two labels? Why hasn't someone went back and updated the database? Why can't I filter by ongoing versus limited?

> So if a netflix series get 2 seasons, 12 Episode. it is just starting
True Detective season one: 8 episodes and done => one of the most acclaimed TV shows in many years.
Mare of Easttown: 7 episodes and done => one of the most acclaimed TV shows in many years
If you make actual stories instead of trying to create ongoing scenarios, you can hit it out of the park in less than 10 episodes.
It's at the top of my list.
