La Brea How Many Episodes In Season 1

Okay, let's talk about La Brea. You know, that show with the sinkhole? And the people? And the questionable special effects sometimes?

The Sinkhole That Swallowed My Weekend

Season 1. Remember that? It feels like ages ago, doesn't it? We were all so hyped about it.

But how many episodes were there, exactly? It's the burning question that keeps me up at night. (Okay, maybe not, but it's important!).

Must Read

The "Official" Count

Officially, there were ten episodes in La Brea Season 1. Ten whole hours of prehistoric shenanigans. Seems about right, doesn't it?

Ten episodes to get emotionally invested in characters who might get eaten by a saber-toothed tiger. Or worse, get stuck in a love triangle.

My Unpopular Opinion

Here's my hot take: ten episodes wasn't enough! I know, I know, some people think it dragged on. But hear me out.

La Brea: Season 1 Episode 1 Sneak Peek - The First Five Minutes

We needed more time with those characters! More time to explore the 10,000 BC world. More time to figure out what was going on with that mysterious tower.

I wanted more confusing plot twists. More questionable science. More of everything!

"Give me more sinkhole drama!" - Probably me, at some point during Season 1.

More Mud, More Mysteries

Think about it. Ten episodes to establish the world, introduce a massive cast, and unravel a complex time-travel plot? It's barely scratching the surface!

We needed at least, like, fifteen. Maybe even twenty! Okay, maybe I'm getting carried away. But still!

Imagine all the extra storylines we could have had. More encounters with prehistoric creatures. More family drama. More questionable fashion choices in the 10,000 BC.

The Sinkhole Still Calls

Ultimately, I'm just saying. La Brea Season 1 had so much potential. And while ten episodes were… okay… more would have been better.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the show. I yelled at my TV. I invested emotionally. I even Googled "how to survive a sinkhole."

But that's because I wanted more. More mud, more mysteries, more La Brea! Is that too much to ask?

So Many Questions!

Ten episodes left us with so many unanswered questions. What's up with the Eve and Levi dynamic? What's the deal with Gavin's visions? And seriously, what are they eating out there?!

Each episode felt like it was introducing five new plot threads, and only resolving one old one. We needed more time to breathe, to explore, to sink our teeth into the story.
