Search Results: is he really into you

There's usually two main types of ways to do tv shows: serialized where there is a continuous narrative throughout the series that requires you to pay attention week to week to stay caught up.

Then there is episodic where each episode wraps up then and there and doesn't continue on. Or if it does it's usually only 2-4 episodes at most and then the next episode after that starts a new story.

There's pro's and cons to both. serialized allows the characters to go real in depth and develop but if you miss any episodes you might be lost and have to catch up. also if you are not so into the current arc you have to wait until that wraps up before a new begins. so breaking bad, game of thrones etc.

Episodic doesn't require much involvement and you can tune in and out whenever and you won't be lost and if you aren't liking an episode you can simply wait until the next one that vibes with you better. However it usually doesn't allow the characters to grow much. so law and order, really most crime tv shows.

There's some shows that do a bit of both though like Star Trek or maybe the X-files. you got 'stand alone' episodes that wrap up immediately but you have a bigger overarching narrative happening throughout the series that sometimes have episodes dedicated to just that from time to time.

So yeah which do you prefer from your tv shows?
