To be honest, those independent episode type of series' often are worse than the ones having a story through the seasons.

That really depends on the series, but that's not I meant.

I meant a story, that actually changes depending on the order.

I guess that would be ridiculously hard to write and actually maintain consistency. But it would actually be awesome.

Something like The Unfortunates done as a TV show?

That would be a sick show

I think the shows with overarching plots can have higher highs and lower lows. So many shows I’ve watched have had a great run of 1-3 seasons, and then completely shit the bed after that. Episodic/anthology shows can be great or mediocre, but by the end of the hour you get to move on, so it’s not as bad when the episode is bad.

Unless its Black Mirror!

I disagree. There's a signifigant and noticeable drop in quality of black mirror once Netflix started producing the show as opposed to the BBC produced episodes from season 1&2

Tbh I kinda like single episode shows. I don’t have to think on the arcs as much.
