Really? I find American stuff feels so drawn out with like 20 episodes.
I'm not watching tv for quality and efficient story telling.
I'm watching it to waste time. The longer the better.
I only spend my audible credits on audiobooks that are 20+ hours long.
There can be an absolutely amazing audiobook that's 8 hours long but I can't bring myself to spend my credit on it.
Why, I have other things I would rather do with my time than watch crap filler.
It certainly can but it depends on where a show is at in its lifespan. If you're on season 6 or 7 of something, you're going to see a lot of filler episodes.
