I grew up in the 80s with soap operas, and I enjoyed them if there was a compelling arc going on within the universe. I don't think anyone wrote fanfic about them because they basically were fanfic, lol. Obviously the LGBT community was practically non-existent in soap operas (unless we're classifying Queer as Folk as a soap opera?), but storylines were so fluid that literally all the ships were mix-and-match at some point.

I don't know why I went on this ramble. I guess the term serialization just made me think of how you used to see soap operas in the TV guide marked "Serial". And now, that's just like... kind of the standard for TV. Although anything beyond a season long, unless it's an anthology show, is basically a serial. So... are you saying you prefer movies or long-form movies?

It's funny how the tide shifts, and sometimes people want self-contained stories (e.g. Austen), and sometimes they want long-format, serialized stories (e.g. Dickens), and we're in this weird area now where we want something that can be binged, and we don't have to wait too long for it, but it's long enough to spend some serious time with.
