i noticed watching shows on NETFLIX from all over the world . once they decide the show will go into extra seasons they all get FILL Episodes so they can get more money for Season 2. 3 etc.

I am lstely only scanning to watch LIMITED Series of only one season . tell the story. get to the punchline , then move on

Yep, sometimes it's quantity over >

Lots of US shows have lots of EPs > more filler EPs..

There’s a difference between traditional US shows that had up to 24 episodes a season and the new approach of limited seasons. You might get 24 different episodes with only a small overarching storyline but I wouldn’t call them fill because they are self contained stories. Limited seasons that drag a single story out too much can have plenty of fill.

This show I started today.(Red rock).
Got 69 EPs in the first season...oh lordy.
I'm only 4 EPs i was thinking only 2 more for the first season to be done n dusted.

Gawd some plot holes in red rock .

Struggling with Ep 1 of Severance

Does it pick up?

I feel that way about Bridgerton tbh

I feel like many male viewers are sucked into watching it because of their wives/girlfriends/spouses etc

Does it pick up?

It’s got a slow build up but the pay off is more than worth it.

Finally watching Catastrophe after years of people nagging me about it. Hilarious. I love Rob Delaney a lot.

One character in red rock I really dislike can't wait till he cops a shank or a bullet.
Chop chop.

A few series I've watched recently

Slow Horses
First season fantastic (8/10)
then gets progressively worse by the third (6/10) needs to go back to its root, Gary Oldman carries the show across all season.

Tokyo Vice
Fantastic, only two seasons but a complete story, alot of episodes had me on the edge of my seat .
8.5/10

Warrior
Just started watching, enjoying it so far, it feels like a blend of Banshee/Peaky Blinders
7.5/10
