I'm all about this being an ongoing miniseries with fresh talent, but of a similar caliber. This is the evolution of GOAT tier television imo. It's hard to talk about this without including spoilers for other shows, so I'll be vague-- but there have been several top tier shows who had big, typically silver screen, actors who brought in the show, but weren't around all that long. They know they can't guarantee they'll have them for multiple seasons, so it's best to write around it. Now with True Detective, the whole format is setup so that they can attract GOAT talent for a GOAT show.
This is precisely why I think The Bridge fell apart. They had a great miniseries concept, but felt they needed to force it into a multi-season format.
