And that is way too much.

I understand people that want shows they liked like GF to last longer, we always wants things we like to go on for longer, but if it did, we would in the end stop liking it so much because nothing can stay high forever.

And a story, any good story needs a beginning a middle and an end, it is structured into acts each with their own climaxes leading to the primary climax and then a resolution.

The three act play is the most popular format and GF follows this, despite being only two "seasons" act one is the beginning, where everything is introduced and it spans the entire season one.

Because the main antagonist wasn't revealed until the end that lead to the defeat of the secondary antagonist, a good first act climate.

The second act is the first half of season four after Stans basement machine is first seen and until the climatic reveal of the author, another big secret that had plagued the fans since the beginning.

Act 3 starts with an introduction to this new character so we can know what he is.

This act sets the stage for twin separation and the drama and tension now reaches its zenith. The wierdmaggeddon climax then brings us all the way to the top and then down again in its third part, beautifully wrapping up everything.



I simply cannot remember a tv series that are able to so masterfully use the three act structure.

Most shows simply wants to go on forever, so the emotional rollercoaster that is a really good play, never seems to go off the grown.

We see it a little in movies, but they are constrained to a two hour run at most and to truly get us all the way and for us to feel it we need more time then that.



In short, Gravity Falls are perfect, there is nothing to add and nothing to subtract. It is a rare gem and I wish more show creators had the guts to try and do what Alex Hirsch have done.
