Sometimes We Just Need a Little Pretty

I'm really, really glad they decided to wrap the show up with the 2nd season. I'm always a fan of mini-series or generally shows that know they will end and get a proper ending. I was really happy to see Eve's post saying goodbye to Jeanette knowing it meant the show was getting wrapped up properly and we wouldn't be left on a cliffhanger that might never get unhanged.

would I have liked a 3rd season to match the trilogy it's based on? yes. but I think 2 seasons was right. a 3rd season would have just dragged the show on and wouldn't have contributed anything because they did cut a lot from the books (understandably) and so there wasn't much more to tell.

I think 16 episodes was exactly what the show needed to tell the story it was telling, and in this day and age of either killing shows mid swing or dragging them on long past their death, it's so refreshing to have a show that knows its own rhythm, knows the time it needs to tell what it has to tell, and knows how and especially when to end. once again very grateful for European shows that know they're short and don't try to be endless but instead deliver a proper ending to a good story.
