Yeah but there are some kinds of stories that just can't get told these days.

If Surf Dracula is just a background for Surf Dracula for this one big multi-episode storyline where they go on an unusual adventure once every three years, it's nothing like following Surf Dracula every week doing Surf Dracula stuff and THEN once every year or two they have a multi-episode arc about something unusual happening.

We'd get to actually see the characters do normal stuff and be normal instead of every episode being about something that 'takes them out of their comfort zone' or whatever.

We really need more 'filler episodes' right now.


The only thing is I don't think this format would work for an Alien TV show. The limited series thing makes more sense for this. For something like Severance it would have been good for it to be in the 20-24 episodes a year every year format, and then big 'metaplot' stuff in like 6-8 of those episodes, everything else is vibes and slice of life and story of the week.
