    And that’s the other end of the spectrum to modern streaming services.

    Taking a concept, idea or story and stretching it across as many episodes as possible for greatest value.

    I’m getting sick and tired of watching a murder mystery documentary style show that could easily be summed up in one one-hour long program … but streaming companies are getting into the habit of turning these one hour long shows and turning them into three or four hour long episodes.

    I just watched Netflix’s ‘Amy Bradley Is Missing’ - a three part docu-series that was interesting but at the end of it I felt like I wasted too much time watching it. All of it could have easily been summed up in a one hour long show.
