I don't watch this show, but I'm just wondering how can people stick around with shows like this, that has made only 32 episodes in 4 years? I think I'd loose interest.

It's a British show and like most British productions, they only produce six to eight episodes per season or series.

Sometimes its nice to have great stories told in a shorter time frame, than have 22-24 episodes a year like U.S. television with tons of filler episodes.

Yeah I agree with ktm - British (and Australian) shows have much shorter seasons and I think this is a good thing. I'd rather see a short season of quality than a long season with hits and misses... I don't have a tv because I'd rather watch a whole boxset online on watchseries anyway...

Having said that this isn't a good example because it was not the best season of SDOACG. I was really disappointed in it.

I agree.. For example I watch Fringe and this show although amazing, can be disappointing because in 24 episodes only about 10 have a purpose to the overall arc of the season..

can be very annoying at times..

I just started watching this show online and was excited I had 4 whole seasons to watch. I finished it in about a week lol it was so short.
