Arcane showrunner defends Netflix series against rushed criticisms

Arcane showrunner, Christian Linke, recently addressed fan concerns about the pacing of the second season of the Netflix show. Linke acknowledged that some viewers felt that the season felt rushed compared to the first. He explained that they took creative risks in structuring the episodes differently in season 2 to keep things fresh. While the majority of the audience enjoyed the changes, some fans felt that it moved away from the interpersonal dynamics that made the first season a hit.

Linke admitted that they faced a difficult balancing act. Some viewers wanted more League of Legends champions and story development, while others felt that there was too much going on in certain episodes. Linke emphasized that they were trying their best to include the right amount of story without overwhelming viewers. Despite the mixed reactions, Arcane season 2 is now available for streaming on Netflix.
