A really good point about the rewards of waiting a week for an episode. I also think with many plots being more complicated than they were 20 years ago you need the time in between episodes to digest things. I'd have probably watched the second run of Vigil if it had aired weekly - but released all in one go just before Christmas and aired over just 10 nights was too much in too short a time at this point of the year.

I also feel something like Brassic works really well as a weekly comedy drama to pick you up on a midweek evening, but watching it back to back as a boxset you realise that episodes have a formula and they stick to it.
