I do notice as I am watching Hawaii five o now, with long seasons that I skip both epsiodes and scenes within episodes I do watch
It feels to me like longer seasons really work best with the old style of television where you’re just getting a new episode to enjoy every week, and not picking it apart too much. But yeah when I’m binge-watching I often find myself skipping certain episodes, and it really standing out to me which episodes just feel a bit pointless and not contributing much to the overall season. It doesn’t have to just be about advancing the seasonal arc either, character work is important too of course, but there are some fillers episodes that really do neither, and those do tend to stand out to me when you’re binge watching an entire season one after the other
