I prefer to immerse myself in the storyline and lore and watch characters develop over time. I find the self contained episode thing to make very formulaic stories. Not that that's bad, necessarily, just not what I am into these days.

My first Chrome extension was one to randomize episodes of shows on Netflix :P so there is a world where people dig that!
