Some day I want to see a show that does the “no filler episodes” thing from the opposite direction. Just a whole season worth of low-stakes character pieces that seem to move the overall story absolutely nowhere, then episode 26 pulls all the triggers at once and this massive Rube Goldberg machine of a plot the show’s been quietly setting up in the background the whole time hits you like a truck.
Incredible one-liners as always
I would say The Apothecary Diaries is the closest that I’ve seen a show come to this?
I won’t go into too much detail, but the first 80% of the season shows our protagonist dealing with various mysteries of the week, only for the season’s climax to reveal that those mysteries were actually part of a complex conspiracy web that all ties together, and that we are still untangling a full season later.
