You know when there are 10 minutes left to go, when there’s going to be a major event, or when the murderer is going to be caught. So, I think it’s time for a show just to break those rules.
I mean, Dr Who tho…
The structure is kind of baked in, unless they do more 2/3 parters, and those are announced ahead of time and have their own.
There’s overarching themes, but it’s all about the self contained episodes. Its not like they can do one long story, at the end of the episode the TARDIS goes off to a new adventure. Even if they did “reinvent” that, lots of others have by now.
It just reads of changing shit for the sake of changing it.
Also, I don’t know who’s acting like Dr Who just got inclusive, they have been ahead of general culture for a long time while still being a show meant to be watched as a family.
