Am I the only one who can't watch procedurals anymore?

[Czerka]

I don't really give a shyt. A good show is a good show

but procedural shows are rarely ever good

I try and avoid them, Gotham is a good tho

"Gotham" isn't a procedural. Just because a show has case-of-the-week type episodes, doesn't make it a procedural.

I don't know, it has strong procedural elements, like Gordon being assigned a case or being drawn in to some kind of investigation. I think it's the Penguins story arch that makes it more ambiguous.

I guess you can say shows like "Gotham" are hybrids more than a Serial drama. But "Gotham" has been A LOT MORE serialized this season than last season. I don't think there's been a straight-up case-of-the-week only episode this season.

Procedurals are borderline insulting to the audience. I don't get how people can tune in every week to watch episodes that are gonna have the same general structure with a predictable resolution. Like, I used to like shows like "Burn Notice" and "Suits" when they first came out until I would start getting bored because of how similar the episode structures are every week.

So whats the film room's opinions on "Serials Vs. Procedurals"?

I hate those shows in general.

"Supernatural" & "iZombie" aren't procedurals. They're Serial Dramas that utilize Case-of-the-week episodes. I guess you can call them hybrids.

Every time someone mentions "Bones" I laugh it because reminds me of an American Dad episode where Roger was a stan of that show Breh took up all the space on the DVR JUST for that show

what's the difference? most of the shows listed could be called serial dramas or hybrids. most if not all have an "arc" that runs through the season.
