Really? I find American stuff feels so drawn out with like 20 episodes.
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.
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.
