And I find it frustrating to get into British TV shows because there are so few episodes per season that it never feels like enough.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly.

When a show only has 6-7 episodes per season, I'm just getting into it and.. no more. I actually like long shows, especially as there are days that I can't do much but watch movies or tv shows.

Less stupid filler episodes though (unless it's a Moffat season of Who)

[philstar22]

I don't always mind filler episodes. If they are good episodes, it doesn't matter if it is filler. There are definitely some shows that can't sustain a 22 episode season and should remain short. But many shows have some excellent one-off episodes.

I'm currently rewatching DS9, and while there's a ton of filler, I don't mind because most of it is good filler.

[elialshadowpine]

Well, yes, but... sometimes the filler episodes can actually be pretty awesome. I'm thinking specifically of a few episodes from the various Star Trek series that were technically filler but were some of the most amazing in the 'verse. Off hand, there's two eps in DS9 that come to mind. One being the episode where Sisko is caught out of time and his son ends up spending his whole life trying to figure out how to get him back, and the one where Sisko is a science fiction writer in the 1950s writing about what he remembers as Commander Sisko but is told that it can't be published because nobody would believe a black man could be in a position of authority. These are short synopses and do not do them justice, but they are amazing episodes, and, yeah, there's certainly a lot of crap filler, but I personally don't mind the crap filler if it means I get awesome stories like this that otherwise don't fit in with the main story arc.

What counts as "filler" is debateabke, though. Some shows never had arcs, or have very minor arcs, so most episodes would be one-off stories. That's not a flaw with the show. Some shows have arcs and yet managed to produce some amazing "filler" episodes. It's clear that the writers have a lot of creativity just waiting to burst out of the over-arching plt.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, and then if there happens to be one episode that's bad, that means a third of the season is bad.

[(Anonymous)]

This, exactly. A few episodes just don't give me enough time to get fully immersed. I find that shows with shorter seasons do tend to be of higher quality in the literary sense (smarter and tighter story telling, basically). However, shows with longer seasons allow me to sort of fall into step with the characters and their universe, get a feel for their lives and routines and such. Kind of like how I'd rather do a 1000 piece puzzle than a 300 piece puzzle. I like that process of getting through it, slowly getting a feel for the whole picture and all the little parts.
