I dont mind serialised stories because they give you chance to really sink your teeth into something. When they are done well they are fantastic (e.g. The Expanse and Reacher) but the problem i have noticed recently with streaming services is that somebody decides they want an 8 episode season, thinks of a start and a finish and then they have to work out how they fill the middle. Like you said, i think some of these stories could be put into 3 or 4 good episodes but instead they are stretched out. The Book of Boba Fett is a perfect example of this. I would rather them tell a quality story for as long (or as short) as it needs to be and then move onto the next story which naturally follows on and progresses the overall story arch.
