Was SJA sustainable?

Miracle Day is a lot like how I felt about the recent second season of Picard. .

All of those are real problems but I think its greatest sin was wasting John de Lancie.

Hey, it really is like the most recent season of Picard...

There were two main problems with Miracle Day as far as I could see.

First was stretching it out to 10 episodes while 5 had worked perfectly for Children of Earth
Second was trying to recapture the shock of governments sacrificing 10% of the world's children. The incineration of those who should have died and who were clinging onto life was horrible, but it didn't reach the heights (lows?) of sacrificing perfectly heathy children.

A lesser issue was trying to marry a quirky British show with a glossy American one.

Yep. Should have been two five-parters

I disagree on that point. I may have my issues with the second season, but it's nowhere even remotely on the same level as "Miracle Day," nor did it waste John de Lancie.
