Are we seriously going to pretend that Dispatch's episodic format is some groundbreaking innovation? AdHoc Studio claims it's the secret sauce to success as the final episodes roll out. But let's face it—this is just another example of recycling the same old formulas that keep us clicking, without any real originality! Sure, sharp storytelling is essential, but the episodic format is just a lazy way to stretch a story over more time. It’s like dragging out a conversation about the weather when we could be diving deep into something actually meaningful. I remember binge-watching shows that actually took risks, and now we’re stuck with this predictable cycle. Wake up, creators! We deserve something fresh and bold, not the same old tricks repackaged. What’s next? A revival of our nostalgia to keep us hooked?
