Most shows would be fine at a three season order. Maybe don’t beat the dead horse with a fourth season and save yourself some money. The additional advantage being that the series has a clear, planned ending which works better for streaming back catalogs.
If they write shows that have stories that neatly wrap up at the end of 3 seasons then it’s better for everyone. Nobody needs another Greys Anatomy that goes for 22 seasons beating a dead horse year after year.
The Good Place was a great example of this. From the beginning they knew they wanted 4 seasons, and wrote the show to end after 4. No need for anything more
true, but if it was on any other network it would probably have been cancelled after season 3.
Or Netflix after one.
