(Anonymous) 2022-08-06 06:58 am (UTC)(link)That feeling of understanding the rhythms and idiosyncrasies of the characters and their lives and their world through sheer repetition and reiteration was a really nice feeling. Episodic stories feel lived-in, in a way that I find really wonderful.
But then in practice, the majority of those case-of-the-week episodes were pretty shoddily written, IMO. And if I have to be in love with the characters to enjoy the episode, then from a 2022 vantage point, that's just not good enough for me. Call me jaded, but I want the writing to be strong enough that I'd be captivated even if I barely even liked the characters. And IMO that caliber of writing is really, really difficult (though not impossible) to attain within the scope and parameters of a case-of-the-week format.
