So, About That *In The Dark* Season 4 Episode Count...
Okay, let's talk about *In The Dark* Season 4. Specifically, how many episodes there are. And maybe, just maybe, air a slightly unpopular opinion.
We all remember the initial excitement, right? Ready for more Murphy Mason mayhem. More Chloe antics. More just…everything.
But then it hit. The realization. How many episodes were *actually* coming our way?
The Number We All Know (And Maybe Secretly Question)
Twelve. Twelve episodes. That's the magic number for Season 4 of *In The Dark*. It felt…sufficient? Or did it?
I mean, compared to other shows, it's a decent run. Some shows barely get a full ten.
But *In The Dark*? It's a show that thrives on drama. On twists and turns. Did twelve episodes really feel like enough to wrap it all up?
My Hot Take (Brace Yourselves)
Here comes the controversial part. Are you ready? I think Season 4 could have used a few more episodes. Like, maybe two or three.
Hear me out! Everything felt a little rushed. So many plot threads needed tying up!
The ending, while dramatic, also felt…truncated? A bit squeezed in? Perhaps that's just me.
Why More Episodes Might Have Helped
Think about all the things that happened in Season 4. Murphy's journey. The whole drug ring situation. The relationship drama.
There were so many moving parts. Trying to fit all of that neatly into twelve episodes felt like stuffing a Thanksgiving turkey into a tiny lunchbox.
A few extra episodes could have given these storylines more room to breathe. More time to develop. More emotional impact.
Don't Get Me Wrong, I Still Enjoyed It
I'm not saying Season 4 was bad! I genuinely enjoyed watching it. *Especially* the amazing acting from Perry Mattfeld.
The characters are still fantastic. The humor is still on point. The drama kept me hooked.
But as the final credits rolled, a tiny part of me couldn't help but think, "What if...?". What if they had just a little bit more time?
The Alternative Universe Where Season 4 Had 14 Episodes
Imagine the possibilities! More character development. More nuanced plot twists. More satisfying resolutions. Sigh.
We could have seen more of Felix trying to hold everything together. More of Max's internal struggles. More of Josh being…well, Josh.
It's fun to imagine. Too bad we're stuck with the twelve. Maybe in fan fiction?
Ultimately, It Is What It Is
At the end of the day, twelve episodes is what we got. We should be grateful for what we have.
And besides, the show ended! No amount of extra episodes could change that harsh reality.
So let's just appreciate the wild ride that was *In The Dark*. Even if I secretly still think it deserved more.
Am I Alone In This?
Seriously, am I the only one who feels this way? Did anyone else wish for a few more episodes of Season 4?
Let me know in the comments! Let's commiserate together. Or tell me why I'm completely wrong.
Either way, thanks for indulging my slightly-too-passionate thoughts on the episode count of *In The Dark* Season 4!
