You can't just put it all together and claim it's one thing. There's a flow to these things. Individual episodes need to have their own arcs. Each episode has to tell its own story. Or at least a coherent piece of the story. I mean you can't just chop a movie up into pieces and call it a good television show. It wouldn't work. So pure hours don't actually mean much. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheHalifaxJones@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago I’m well aware of this.
