    I think it’s little more than producers have found the idealized timing to pack in all the melodrama they can and get you to watch all X episodes.

    Then have you come back for something else, a “variation on a theme”.

    The producers simply know how to sucker us in.

      They know how to sucker investors in, certainly. Idk about the long term health of the medium. People still just binge watch Friends, ffs. So much of the most popular material is behind us.
