I wish. TV shows now are forced to write these incredibly fast paced stories that leave little room for setting or character development.
An example that springs to mind is The Dragon Prince. Despite having the same writers as ATLA, the story feels super rushed and the worldbuilding feels far more disjointed than ATLA, simply because (IMO) the short seasons give the story so little room to breathe.
I agree. I even like the Dragon Prince but it feels so abridged as a result of the short seasons.
ATLA comes to mind as an example of a show that was given room to breath and it was much better for it. I would love to see creators given that much leeway for a multi-season story arc up front again!
