This strikes me as comparing apples and oranges. A television series constrained by production to one or two-part episodes is a radically different form from a novel. I think that form poses some serious problems for character development. Character relationships need to be quickly comprehensible to people watching out of sequence, but still develop over time for repeat viewers. BBC fares better than most at this by having much shorter "series."

Something that puts me off mainstream American television production is that the standard way of dealing with this is to introduce a conflict early in the season, have the characters act like fools ignoring the conflict for 20 episodes, and offer to resolve it with a bang in a series finale that usually leaves the conflict unresolved as a cliffhanger for the next season.
