I try to view it (for prestige shows) as 8-10 film quality shows (4-5 movies) but when they do the short seasons for basic comedies, yeah, that feels cheap.

And then there's the British weird season stuff; 4-6 episodic episodes and then a year or two later, another 4-6 episodes, going on for 2 decades or so. Thinking of Jonathon Creek and Poirot.

Seems like 'Watercooler cooler' tv peaked with GoT and every other attempt (WestWorld, Rings of Power, Succession, etc) has generated some buzz but nothing near peak GOT S3-S4.

And now that it turns out there's no lasting economy of scale with subscription tv (wait for full season to drop, subscribe for a month to watch, cancel), I doubt there will be many more big-budget shows in the future, at least until business models change again. Apple, Amazon, and Netflix (to a lesser degree) subsidize their shows but I feel that's going to be ending in the next few years.
