Lower Decks fits that format and it works considering the medium.
TOS through now is still about an hour, disregarding the 2-parters and feature length episodes. What’s changed is season length. 10 episodes is the new norm. Used to be 26-ish.
Idk why I thought they were shorter and these new shows feel like they are so long. Maybe its the A plot B plot thing that packs a lot into one episode.

Pacing certainly factors in. Modern dramas tend to needlessly linger on scenes. Just wish there was more focus on the other characters.
