The episodes have been getting longer as the seasons get shorter, tho. I think it's much more likely we get something like 3 90-minute episodes per season (like Sherlock, which was mostly fantastic).
oh no, i didn't mean to suggest they're getting better. i just meant to say that shorter seasons with longer episodes isn't necessarily bad. most recent thing i watched was the first john wick movie, i really don't keep up with the latest tv releases.
I miss the old twenty-something episode seasons.. these days it costs twice as much for a third of the content.
Take The X-Files for example, the monster of the week eps were what kept me watching.. the main alien arc was actually kinda sloppy, and all the satanic cult stuff I just sorta tolerated.

Sherlock Holmes on BBC has 3 episodes each season. With about 2 years waiting between seasons

Seriously? That sucks.

They we're 3 outstanding episodes. Not 10 fillers and 3 good ones.

At least in the earlier seasons.
I think it fell off very heavily, which sucks, because now I also don't want to rewatch the awesome early seasons.

Outstanding my ass. They literally updated definitions of queerbaiting after that series.

How about just one 90-120 minute episode? We might have to come up with a new name for them. /s

Ever hear of British sitcoms?

Six episodes and sixty percent of the same actors always.

I'm watching The Office if that counts.

Man, I hope so. I'll take 10 we'll written episodes over 24 with 10 that are mediocre and 4 that are just filler

You mean mini series?

eh, quality over quantity imo. midnight mass had super long episodes but only about 6 of them. it's a fantastic show though

I don't really see them getting better, just shorter and more expensive to produce.

Are you suggesting that they are trending towards becoming movies?

Why do you say it like it's a bad thing? 😅

Attack on Titan is already 2 steps ahead of you with 1-episode specials
