I like serialized and episodic. It really depends on the genre and what the story is trying to do because there's no one size fits all for narratives and frankly I find it really boring and irritating when people try to insist there is one.

If all TV was the same I would barely watch it.

THIS
Maybe it's my dash, but tumblr insists that episodic is better. No? Sometimes it works better. Sometimes absolutely not.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT.

Yeah it absolutely works best for certain genres, like comedy or murder mystery are built to be episodic and work better when they are. Trying to make either serialized can be iffy but I wouldn't say it can't work, but it would need to be done carefully.

While fantasy shows work best as serialized and sci-fi can work as either. It's really dependant on the show itself.

It's the relative lack of it in modern TV that makes it seem as if it's better.

If there was a hard turn back toward episodic, and serialized fiction became more rare, there'd likely be a surge of people insisting that serialized is better than episodic.

All tv is the same though. Episodic just doesn’t exist anymore. Everything is a serial or reality tv. And viewing figures are down across the globe because nobody wants to watch much tv when it’s all the same.

I like episodic too, it's one of the reasons I never got to far into Supernatural because I liked when it was just monster of the week and not a huge overarching plotline.

[(Anonymous)]

It can depend on what I'm in the mood for.

Sometimes I love watching more episodic shows, because I can just sorta watch and get engrossed for a bit.

Other times I want to get sucked into serialized shows where I need to pay attention to every episode carefully for a satisfying overall viewing experience.

I think a mix of both is best. Whichever one the show leans toward can be good, but it is best when you have a bit of both types. Some sort of overarching plots, but also lots of episodic stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I think the best shows are the ones where there's like a good season-long arc but also a lot of fun one-offs mixed in.

Abortions for some, miniature American Flags for others.

This is why monster-of-the-week structures work so well, IMO.

(and why procedurals of any kind are so enduring, of course)
