After the last post on episodic writing a lot of people
mentioned TV as an example of where an episodic structure works very well. So I thought I'd address that.
The first thing to bear in mind is that just because
something is delivered in an episodic format, doesn’t mean it’s episodic
narratively speaking.
If I take a novel and split it up into sections, and then
let you read one chapter a week, then that’s an episodic way to read the story, but it
makes no difference to the story itself.
