If it's a sitcom or a network drama that focuses on a case of the week sort of thing, they can usually last forever. But if it's a show focused on a specific story-line, then I prefer fewer seasons. The Good Place only had 4, Breaking Bad had 5, and Fleabag famously only has 2 after Phoebe Waller-Bridge had to be convinced to have a second season, which ended up being better than the first, and nicely closed the story. The perfect amount of seasons are when the show runners know when to end a story.

He is because that was the point - to be a caricature of a "stereotypical food snob" who actually knows nothing about cooking but acts like they do and takes it too seriously. The movie never made fun of people who legitimately enjoy food and want to save up to go to a fancy restaurant solely because they enjoy food. The entire menu of guests were people who were the antithesis of that.

I mean, there were only three real "foodies" in the movie, everyone else were just rich people who wanted an exclusive experience. It was just basically the critic and her assistant, and Holt's character who were being portrayed as "foodies", and they were both terrible people. The movie focused on those characters because that's what the movie was about. It's all satire. Remove them, and then it's just people enjoying a dinner.
