Part of the experience of following a series was to be invested over a fairly long time. At least with a feature length film, you usually get some closure at the end. With a series, you get cliff hangers and are left dangling.

I will say though that 8 quality episodes is better than 8 quality episodes and 4 filler episodes, which also used to happen quite a bit.
Each episode is about 1:04 long. In the past we would have gotten an hour long episode, but that would have included about 15-20 minutes of commercials.
