Consensus seems to be disliking this change, but curious if there are other perspectives

    Agreed, and the main reason for 26 episodes per season was to get a show for rerun syndication as quickly as possible which needs 100 total episodes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes

    This caused a lot of high stress during filming to be able to to produce that many episodes in such little time.

    With streaming, companies like Netflix and HBO/Max are no longer looking to sydicate, so they can produce at their own pace a bit more. It sucks for the audience that is used to more shows, but I rather have a bunch of mini series that have a beginning, middle and end, than dragged out abominations like The Walking Dead. Shows like Breaking Bad that have both have always been very rare.
