You people dislike episodic shows?

It’s by far the thing I miss the most about the older shows. Way more episodes, that aren’t always pushing an overarching narrative and story arc. Just loosely connected, sometimes referencing each other later on, the occasional two parter.

I hate how streamlined modern shows are now. 10 episodes per season if you’re lucky, and they are all crammed to the brim with narrative and plot details. Everything tidied up nicely in the end, everything you see serves a purpose.

No time to just spend an episode watching a minor character do something unrelated to the overall plot, like barclay and his shenanigans.
