Well to be fair, not all shows are designed to be ‘fun’ as such. I can’t imagine something like Dark, or Silo, or Black Sails or Mr. Robot having “fun” episodes (Elliot Aldersons dream in S02 not withstanding).
Comment on What's your ideal TV series length and style?

90s style and early 2000s. Without the larger number of episodes you can’t have the fun episodes. You will not get character growth with only a few episodes. You won’t have characters go from loving and funny to pissed off. At least you won’t have it make sense.
Honestly if they keep going the route they are, I’ll just watch movies and re runs of old shows (on dvd/bluray). I have no interest in a TV show that only has 6 episodes in a season. By the time I start to get interested in a character(s), the season is over or the show is cancelled.

Black sails is mostly fun episodes though. Or I just mostly had a blast watching them.

You can have character growth in a couple dozen episodes though.
Wednesday even had some character growth in only one season, although it resulted in her just becoming more like everyone else in a way I didn't really like.
