You're not just talking ablut posssibilities, but also about extremely different types of shows. You can have both. I like shows like community that do the type of thing you mention but I enjoy shows like barry far more.
That's fine you can like whatever you want. The thing is, I don't think a single show on any of the streaming shows has 22 episode seasons. We are just asking for that format to not disappear.
That format was mostly just extremely short episodes with a lot of advertisements as padding. A show should have as many episodes as its creator wants. If most choose fewer and longer episodes, so be it. Also, as I've already explained, a season with 10 50 minute episodes is literally the same as a 20 episode show with 25 minute long episodes. You're just asking for the episodes to be edited differently. Instead, I propose you look into what a pause button does. It might just be the only thing you need to get your 20 episodes back.
I'm not sure if you're just being a troll or serious with this. A 1 hour episode isn't just 2 30 minute episodes put together. Each episode has a full story arc, theme, lesson, etc. you couldnt have the first half of your 50 min episode be a sherlock holmes episode then the second half be a normal episode focused on the story. Also the artists aren't making the decision how many episodes netflix will buy.
Sure bud.
