For real though. 8 or 10 episodes is nothing, especially when they're spread out intentionally to just keep people subscribed to a monthly streaming service.
TV shows of yesterday still matter largely because there is so. much. content. This shit was available for free with a basic ass television and some strips of metal wired into it. And you got 24 episodes a season. And sometimes there was more than one season in a year.
Artificial scarcity is obvious when things get that different.
