I just finished watching "Man vs. Bee" on Netflix. I was able to watch the entire 9-episode series in an hour and a half.

While it's kind of an odd length of TV episode, there's a weird satisfaction in completing an entire episode in such a short time. But then, that's happening everywhere.
YouTube "shorts" are the latest rage on YouTube.

One isn't necessarily better than the other. But it's worth taking the time to ask the question to begin with.
