I agree so much with this. I've been thinking lately how much I miss old-style episodic shows, where the central focus was on the characters, a particular setting, and a theme, and you'd get self-contained stories where you had the opportunity to just...get to know the characters, and maybe see them get a break. Hell, sometimes, you'd even get a glimpse at what they did in their downtime! They'd actually have downtime!

It's not even that I don't like the modern "prestige television" model, with tightly-plotted arcs. I do. But I want the other kind of TV to exist, too. Sometimes, you just want to sit down with 45 minutes of characters you love getting into a mess that you know will be resolved by the time the credits roll.

Absolutely. I realize that I just like seeing the characters in a variety of settings and interactions. It builds them out in a different way than if you only get to see them dealing with the Big Plot.

+1! I think that’s what’s so much more appealing to me about older TV, is that the characters have room to live and breathe. And it’s not like even when there is a downtime episode it ends on one of those “surprise the stakes have never been higher now” bait and switches it seems like is now a requirement to have.

Same, nonny. I appreciated a tightly plotted arc as well, but so many shows purport to do this and then don't actually pull it off. I miss episodic stuff, and the kind of fillers you and OP describe.
