“To be perfectly honest, I think 13 episodes is a great season,” Levi said in an exclusive interview on Aug. 5 in Pasadena, Calif. as part of the Television Critics Association fall press tour. “I think that cable does it right. They’ve always done it right. I think that network television has done 22 for a long time and sometimes more. That’s the tradition, but I feel like [in] 22 episodes, even the best shows end up with a few episodes that are a little soft around the middle. They’re not what the fans would really want to chomp into, so I say 13, rock ‘n’ roll, make it lean and mean.”
