Expect no more than two seasons, then. Carnivale and Rome know what time it is.
Exactly. Pay big money to the writers...story is what drives good shows. Throw some decent budget at the rest and it should fall into place. But just because something is expensive has very little bearing on if it's good.
And HBO has a tendency to throw too much money at even good shows to the point where they have to abandon them despite their quality. You went with Carnivale and Rome as your examples...I was coming to post Carnivale and Deadwood. Great shows that were cut short because of budgets.

Carnivale and Rome were 20 years ago, before the golden era of TV and streaming wars we are seeing now.
Totally different world and landscape.

It seems like Carnivale was the most expensive show that they had ever filmed because of the cost of sets/locations and a huge main cast.
It gets canceled, mostly due to Rome's even bigger budget and then Rome only makes it two seasons.
Carnivale is probably my favorite show. Still kinda pissed about it not getting the 6 seasons it needed to finish the story.
