Modern TV shows just drag on the plot way too long. They give you a couple of seasons presenting what could be easily done in a two hour movie

You nailed it. There are some plot lines I read in Netflix that sound really interesting until I realize they want to spread it over 10 episodes. I usually pass.
I get the feeling they are designed to give a “bored” population living in apartments something to do when they are not at work. I have a full time job and 32 acres to maintain, and I’m either grading my driveway, mowing my seven acre lawn, building a deck, maintaining my woods trails, building concrete walkways, tending the garden, etc.
I want to watch a complete story when I’m resting or too tired to read. I’ve not got time to waste on drawn out stories as pure time filler. Life’s too short!
