As I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate shows that do a tight story in six to eight episodes. Many shows with 16-24 episodes per seasons always add in filler episodes that only need to exist to sell more ads over the course of the season. And shows that drag on season after season eventually lose the plot.
Remember Lost? One hundred and twenty-one episodes only to drop entire plot lines, mysteries, etc.
Well, Nah. The problem is that lack of plot, and just milking viewers with fillers, and get cancelled without ever actually completing the character's arch or wrapping up the story.
Mini Series like Black Bird, Chernobyl, True Detective... They're amazing!
It ain't attention spans its the fractured landscape of streaming and the high costs of productions on more non-reality TV shows. Plenty of dog shit reality TV shows can still get endless seasons because they are cheap to produce.
