Reply to comment by u2sunnyday in [Super Curious] 🫠Why is British TV series short like every season holds up for 6 episodes max? by aparnasesha

No they are not. 22 episodes of 22 minutes, which is the average number of episodes and length for US shows, is a longer stretch of time than 6 30 minute shows.

90 percent of US shows aren't 22 episodes and haven't been for years. 8 - 12. Anyway I was talking about dramas and yes, it does even out.

If you completely move the goalposts then yes you are correct. If we compare the average shows the USA has more content across the season.

I mean, the other person who responded to my post understood what I was talking about.

But I'm guessing your one those that needs to be right about meaningless stuff. Ok. You are right. I'm wrong.
