More than anything I'd love to see what a trial for Veidt would look like, and how the public would react to the reveal that the giant squid was a deception.
if i were to pick a nit, I'd be less excited to see Abar as Dr. Manhattan. but when Dr. Manhattan was talking about transmitting his powers didn't he say some and not all? i wouldn't like another all-out god character because it's such a tough character to do storytelling with, and i really like how they wrapped up Manhattan's story. but if she can just walk on water and do a few other things that would be cool. but for some reason i feel like season 2 would open with angela falling in the pool.
anyway i'm just a sucker for the way Lindelhof tells stories. his thing where he just throws you in the middle of the story and everything is confusing and unclear is so exciting. it's obvious he treated the watchmen canon with great care but at the same time wasn't afraid to take swings, because you got to with watchmen.
This was a close to perfect season of TV, but put me in the camp that says they dont need to do anymore.
Lindelof seems like he's done unless something comes to him that he wants to tell the next few years. He's also open to HBO bringing in another showrunner/writer to head up another season but seems like HBO isn't going that direction just yet.

it's probably been a change coming in the mindset of TV viewers over the past few years, but the general feeling i get reading reviews of watchmen, or reading impressions here and around the internet, is that everyone would be OK with this season being a one and done. traditionally the american view of TV has been "more more more i need more seasons more", but more often i think we are happy to see a well-told story over one to three seasons and let that be it.
i'd guess this is for a few reasons:
1. we've seen too many beloved shows go on for too long, going out with a whimper (or a groan), or in more extreme cases get cut short via cancellation. and no matter how great a part of our lives those shows were, our memories will be tainted by the show not sticking the landing. during their prime i had true love for shows like True Blood or Dexter, but with such piss poor final seasons (or two seasons) they never make my list of favorite shows ever. There are rare exceptions where shows should have gone on longer to wrap up the stories better (Game of Thrones) but generally I feel like it's better for a show to end on the showrunner's terms before they have exhausted themselves creatively in that world.
2. there is so much TV right now. i was thinking about several years ago when pretty much any original series from HBO or Netflix or Hulu or Showtime would get my full attention. Now it's impossible to keep up even with the shows that are recommended in this thread. It's a rare evening at the postjack household where we don't have tons of options for what to watch, and great shows are still getting left by the wayside as we keep picking up the shiny new exciting thing instead of finishing what we started (sorry Pose S2 I promise we will finish you soon).
3. maybe not as conscious as parts 2 and 3, but i think it's exciting to see our favorite actors play new roles in new things.

i think black mirror is a perfect example of all of the above. short, weird, interestingly well told stories that are one and done and you can move onto a brand new equally good story. i guess it doesn't apply to 3 as much but there are some guest actors in some episodes

It's cool that Lindelof seems genuinely interested in someone doing this given that there are limitations to the perspective on race/social equality he can provide. I'd be perfectly fine to let this season stand alone, but it would also be unbelievable to see what Jordan Peele or Donald Glover or Issa Rae or Alan Yang or Cary Fukunaga could do with their own season.
1:31, the fact that they show it i'm taking as meaning it's new next year
They have a weird amount of stuff from this year in their preview for 2020. A clip from Chernobyl is also included but I would highly doubt that they make a season two of that.

chernobyl season 2: just a stream of the Elephant's Foot becoming less radioactive from 1986-1996.
If there is going to be a season 2, they will announce it officially. And it will probably take enough time to write/film to warrant a release well over a year from now.

well now i just look like the big idiot don't I
Haha I wouldn't think too much of it. I stopped the video at the 45 second mark because I thought they had messed up with all the old stuff.
