Even if they were not formally split, one could see the traces there. 2 is constantly split up by fans even though it really is just one season.

Plus, there’s a difference between what one is interested in and if it would work.

Neverland could never last an entire season. Nor any other arc. What’s more looked towards is the intermingling of the arcs/ just the flow and pacing of the narrative. If well written, I think 3B, 5A, 5B and 6A could very well last an entire season. Obviously the way they were written they only went on for 11 episodes, but if things were rearranged they could work, just like Seasons 1 and 7 were full seasons. If well written, the other seasons could have been partitioned. It goes both ways.

But it isn’t well written (subjectively) to various degrees and as such, it’s better for something to be shorter and iffy than drag on.

Ex. Everybody loved Hyde, but felt he was there too briefly. But I’m glad it was a great short mini-arc than something dragged out and ultimately soured. So, it’s a risk versus reward scenario. Would I take the good, short story or risk a bland longer one.
