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
