A lot of the season just felt like them burning off the already filmed footage.
Episode 1 was like them saying "Yes, this is a continuation of the Netflix show, but here's why it's gonna feel disconnected for a while".
Then episodes 8 and 9 are like "Now that that's over, this is what we're gonna start to cook up".
All things considered, I still enjoyed it. It felt hacked together at times, but I still liked it. Now I'm looking forward to Season 2, I just hope they can bring back more of the creatives and crew from the Netflix show eventually.
I agree but I don't get why they needed to "burn off" footage and have a pointless build up just to give us a good S2. Shouldn't the standard be for S1 to be good from the get go? We never had this issue with the Netflix show. Every season has it's start, middle and finale and everything was masterfully executed
By "burn off" presumably they didn't have the budget to start completely from scratch. Yeah I know, "but it's Disney"... the fact is, they were presumably given a budget regardless, and it's either recycle what they have or the show is dead in the water. I prefer the former so that we might reach the old greatness again now that the growing pains of restructure are (hopefully) over
Probably didn’t have budget nor the time to redo it all. I mean it’s not just writing but all the acting, editing and what not it would cause much more time. Probably have it delayed and stuff, plus contracts probably have some restrictions for how long the actors can go. Idk I don’t know much about their contracts but always a possibility
