I’m just sad to see so many tv series on Apple TV+ are only released with 6 episodes. I get that it costs a lot of money to get these actors and the production quality is usually top notch with ATV+ from what I’ve seen, but 6 episodes just leaves so much to be desired!
If the story-teller has only 6-episodes worth of story to tell right now, it‘s better not to release an extra 6 or 12 episodes full of filler and garbage.

Sounds fun, I love musicals and usually travel to NYC and see them all... so now I just work everyday. I actually played viola for 3 shows this year (Evita, She Loves Me, Songs for a New World)

True, and I get that, but there seems to be ONLY that type of short-series releasing on ATV+ sadly. Plus, the vast majority haven’t gotten renewed for second or third seasons so we’re stuck with the story-teller’s mere 6 episodes.
Honestly, I think the world needs more mini-series told well than shows that outstay their welcome. "Designated Survivor" would have been a great six-episode drama and instead it limped along well beyond its original premise to become Just Another Political Drama.
