Suspense does necessarily mean cliffhangers. The time between a joke start and punchline is getting shorter. Look at Friends or early BigBangTheory, not the highest calibre of entertainment but they had many jokes that were setup over seasons. That isnt a thing anymore. Everything must be packaged up in a single scene. Modern shows are just dull, taking forever for anything to happen due to all the re-explaining (Mandalorian). That isnt suspenseful, just slow.
