They should just have left well enough alone. Any time "popular demand" brings back a show, the quality suffers because there's no reason in the plotline for it.
Why do we need to see a season 4 of this?

The first season was good then it declined quickly from there. Season 3 was unwatchable.

I'm sure they're crossing their fingers now hoping the enthusiasms are still there. Many shows weren't so lucky.

Several TV shows started with massive success but suffered a decline in viewership due to long gaps between seasons. Here are some notable examples:
1. "Sherlock" (BBC, 2010–2017) – This critically acclaimed detective series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman was a huge hit in its early seasons. However, long gaps (often two to three years) between seasons led to declining interest and lower ratings for its fourth season.
2. "True Detective" (HBO, 2014–present) – The first season was a massive hit with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, but the second season (2015) saw a drop in quality. The third season (2019) was better received, but the long gaps affected momentum. While the latest season, Night Country (2024), revived interest, the show struggled in between.
3. "Fargo" (FX, 2014–present) – While critically acclaimed, this anthology series suffered from long breaks between seasons (e.g., three years between seasons 3 and 4), which impacted its viewership momentum.
4. "Westworld" (HBO, 2016–2022) – The first season was a massive success, but with long gaps between seasons (2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022), audience interest declined. The complex plot also contributed to viewership losses.
5. "Atlanta" (FX, 2016–2022) – The first two seasons were widely loved, but a four-year gap between seasons 2 and 3 (2018–2022) caused a loss of momentum. Season 4 followed quickly, but many viewers had moved on.
6. "Arrested Development" (Fox/Netflix, 2003–2019) – The original run was critically acclaimed but ended abruptly. Netflix revived it in 2013, but after another five-year gap, the final season (2018–2019) was released in two parts and failed to recapture its former success.
7. "The OA" (Netflix, 2016–2019) – The first season was a cult hit, but the three-year gap before season 2 led to lower engagement, eventually leading to its cancellation.
8. "The X-Files" (Fox, 1993–2002, 2016, 2018) – After a long break, the revival seasons (2016, 2018) didn’t match the original’s success. Many fans had moved on, and the inconsistent storytelling didn’t help.
9. "Deadwood" (HBO, 2004–2006, 2019 movie) – The original series ended without resolution, and despite strong fan interest, the follow-up movie came 13 years later, missing the cultural momentum.
10. "Twin Peaks" (ABC/Showtime, 1990–1991, 2017) – The original was a sensation, but the 2017 revival, Twin Peaks: The Return, had a niche audience and didn’t reach mainstream popularity again.
These shows often struggled because long gaps caused audiences to lose interest, leading to a drop in viewership when new seasons finally arrived.

Why? Season 3 was so bad.

Wichita is my hometown, love how they tied it in. Not exactly sure if 300K people qualifies as a small town, but hey, Go Shockers!
