I mean, even the last episode was kind of unceremoniously short compared to the rest. I bet they had great scripts and had to cut them down. If I had to guess, I'd say there were budgetary constraints foisted on the writers. But then, right around the time the show felt it had made its philosophical points, it just rushed to end everything and tie everything up in a tidy gift bow. I know personally I would generally fall on the negative side of the debate for using AI but the show did a great job of demonstrating that there are potential upsides if there were ever real checks and balances baked in. Class o'09 was a nuanced exploration of the good and bad potential for using AI in law enforcement. It needed at least an extra episode-these 8 episode runs are almost never nearly enough and it seems like the HBO model of 12 episodes for a show, or season of a show, has always felt the best to me, not too long not too short. Maybe this was a case of too many cooks in the kitchen (read: too many producers with script notes) but it had such a great first half (perhaps first 3/4) and then just felt like it shed all of it the elements that were keeping it artfully together to do a mad dash to the finish line.
