different times for different episdoes


I found it strange that 1 episode in the middle was only 34 mins long. yet we had some 55 min episodes and a couple of 45 min ones, why was there not a consistent 55 min episodes? considering it's only 10 episodes it isn't enough!

There was a time seasons used to have 13 episodes as a standard, it seems 8 to 10 now is the new standard.

Tighter series are better...

Not strange at all. The advantage of a streaming TV series is that they don't have to follow the time constraints of networks with rigid schedules and commercial interruptions. The creators of the episodes can take each episode to its desired conclusion without forcing it into a time slot. It minimizes unnecessary details or bad editing to reduce the time.

Seriously i prefer tightly paced over dragged out.
The pacing of this show was really good.
