I enjoyed season 2. However, with the last episode ending like it did, it makes me wonder if it will be renewed. Anyone else?
It certainly felt like the series finale.

The ending was also a counterpoint to seminal episode, A Dark Quiet Death. That instead of milking the goat (a subtle clue from Dana?), end it on a high note.

It's also possible that the series will create a spin-off series, Hera with fresh new ideas. For All Mankind and Halt and Catch Fire (available for streaming in the US on Netflix) are examples of a series that reboots with a time jump every seasons. So spinning off Hera would be largely a symbolic move but fitting since the series would no longer be about Mythic Quest.

Yeah just watched it. Was concerned before that it wasn’t getting renewed since no announcement had been made and Apple has been really early on announcing renewals. Pretty now sure this was a planned series finale. They could bring it back if viewership calls for it, but if not at least they didnt Leave it with a complete cliffhanger.

Didn't like season 2 that much, a lot of filler content, stretching the season. No need to stretch this any longer.

It seemed a bit more mean spirited than the first season. A bit disconnected at times and not sure if they knew where they were going with the storyline.

That said, the episodes Backstory and Peter were standouts.

With Season 3 running already I rewatched the first 2 seasons. The pilot shows the young C.W. with his Nebula Award, I was quite surprised, thinking they had that planned so far ahead with the right actor and everything. But then I got curious and checked a backup from a time when the series was new, and yeah, they had a young C.W. holding his Nebula Award in the original "airing", but it was a different actor. So they actually updated the old episodes, or at least the Pilot episode.
I'm not sure if I like that or not. It's sort of a bug fix to make it better which is good, but also the original gets lost which is sad.

What are your opinions on this?

Season 3 has been better than 2, but they’ve lost something from the first season. Apparently they are doing a spin-off that will be focused on the tone/style of the backstory episodes, which could be great if they get it right as those have all been some of the best TV I’ve seen in awhile.

It's my favourite show on apple TV.

If there is only one thing you'd like to try out with your free subscription, I suggest this one.
I agree, I've rewatched it a few times already. Never gets old. It's really great.
