TV shows don’t end anymore - they just don’t get renewed.

Another reason why the episodic format is superior to serialization. At least you’re not left hangin’ when it’s cancelled mid-season.

I reckon the best shows are the ones that are largely episodic with a serialised overarching story. Where you can pick up pretty much any episode and be cool with it, but where watching it all in order provides the best experience and it has a satisfying definitive conclusion.

This.

I do love me some serialized storytelling, but episodic storytelling is interesting too.

Some do end. Many of them quite some time after their storylines.
