I disagree, I prefer when the budget goes to better writing and less filler. The arrow verse shows really nailed that home for me, 24 episodes and by the end i didnt care about the big bad or how they were going to beat em. Either make short arcs or shorter seasons with a better budget. I believe the new Dexter did this

Well the money clearly ain't going to better writing with less episodes either.

Along the way TV shows went from being polished 10 episode series from the usual 20+ episodes to dragging out a 2 hour movie plot over the course of 6-8 episodes.
