It's incredibly draining and exhausting. As an audience member, you need to constantly be "on" to understand the show. Sometimes, maybe even often times, this is what you want. But when you don't then you can't, meaning there's no way to enjoy the show while also not committing to it. These are high-commitment shows.
Also everyone just forgets all the nuances when a new season come out 1 year later. Typically, this is fine, but since these shows really rely on those nuances you end up getting disconnected from the show.
- ryandrake 2y agoI liked TV better back when there were a few "main story arc" shows, but the majority were random, unconnected plots. Like the X-files where most of the shows were "monster of the week" but they would occasionally return to some main theme and move it forward. We're re-watching Deep Space 9, and I think that series had the right ratio. As opposed to something like Game Of Thrones, which was basically a single 70 hour movie split arbitrarily.
