Short episodes. One episode is about sit-com length, 23 minutes. One season is 10 episodes, so less than 4 hours each.
Compare with a series as Twin Peaks the Return, 18 one hour episodes. There's a difference. Oh wait... I've actually watched that series three times as well. Just gets better with every watch.
But still, I watch both TV and movies very seldom nowadays and for the moment I don't follow any series. They always start to go downhill further or later, so I usually don't bother. Only watched GoT season 1.
Thanks for the reminder. I will listen to the podcast.
