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

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).

Ever hear of British sitcoms?

You mean mini series?

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

Are you suggesting that they are trending towards becoming movies?

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

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

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

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.
