A key figure behind Star Trek's classic era has likened the shortened seasons of modern TV to the equivalent of a Tinder relationship, and said he hoped the sci-fi franchise would return to 22-episode seasons.
It does happen with ~10 episode seasons, like the first few seasons of House of Cards.
I mean technically yea, but how many are actually pulling that off. A lot of these shows coming out now still have shit pacing even with short seasons covering only a few story lines. Two examples off the top of my head, The Acolyte was like 8 episodes long and they had a flashback episode. Picard S2 could have been wrapped up as a 2 parter. At least with the long seasons you get more content even if a few duds end up in there.
I think there’s going to be a lot more examples of solid 10 episode seasons than 20. Proportionately speaking; there’s a longer history of traditional TV to draw on. Of course, not everything is going to be gold.
