I do mind. Most of the time the modern short season system means, its a long movie or to use buzz words = binge worthy. You must watch every episode and in order. With the old system, you could watch most of the season out of order and skip episodes. The ones that need to be watched, are usually the double or tripple episodes. The old system allows full episodes for side/background characters, developing their story.
Of course there is the budget and with more episodes, it allows for a bigger difference. I don’t mind cheaper episodes but I hate a big “previously on” episode, where there is not even character development.
