I felt the same about the pacing and it is endemic of series these days.

They have the same amount of content as they did when they weren't made for streaming, but for some reason they feel both rushed and slow at the same time. It's hard to describe why it actually feels off.

My guess is either they don't have the funding to spit out a full 24 minutes anymore, and they never figured out how to write for shorter, or the lack of commercial breaks aren't forcing them to hit certain milestones in the episode. But I really don't know.
