Fuck these 6 episode seasons that are chok full of CGI and expensive details yet the story is written by an edgy 15 year old
As an example: star Trek TNG had 24-25 episodes per season and there are some great expensive episodes out there, but the best episodes are bottle episodes that cost almost nothing to make as it's mostly an actor with a great storyline. The inner light, shades of grey, family, in the pale moonlight, all great bottle episodes from ST TNG and DS9
With modern tv shows those bottle episodes have been scrapped so that they can move the tiny budget of those to fill out the big set piece vapid dumb storyline CGI episodes and it sucks
We want out bottle episodes!
6 episodes are too short, usually. But 10-12 are fine.
Give me 24 45 minute episodes. I'll take the filler episodes as amongst those you'll find the best
Not every show works like that. The video suggesting Silo become a 'case of the week' show was wild.
