So I just got caught up to this point. And I fear looking for the answer to this elsewhere, lest I get spoiled. I’ve seen all these threads on the board, and decided to take the plunge without knowing whit one about this show. What’s the deal with this show? How long is it scheduled to run? ---

The first season is 10 episodes. The second season was picked up, and right now the official word is 10 more episodes, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they make it 12ish. ---

Damn good TV and their adherence to 13 or fewer episodes per season. I’ve been waiting for Breaking Bad S4 for like 6 or 7 years now. ---

I’m reading that they began casting in May for season 2 and one character I hate and one I love is being replaced. Originally I thought I’d wait until the TV series was over before starting the books but I see now I cannot wait that long. I will try to wait until after each season. But not if it’s going to be more than a year between series or, worst, do like they did with Huff.
