Everything Sucks! and The End of the F**king World each have episodes that hover around the same length of a half-hour network sitcom, without the commercials. Why? Because it's easier to binge through a show when episodes run less than 30 minutes. Everything Sucks! "asks you to stick with it, but doing so takes less than 90 minutes, just a bit longer than the runtime of one first-season episode of The Leftovers," says Miles Surrey. "Everything Sucks! is one of a few recent Netflix shows that’s followed this condensed approach. The End of the F***ing World, acquired from the UK’s Channel 4, is eight episodes long, with each running around 20 minutes. The Ezra Koenig anime Neo Yokio is even shorter: six episodes with a 20-to-24-minute run time each. Netflix is building a roster full of shows that are easily digestible and perfect for bingeing, offsetting their collection of dramas (Ozark) and comedies (Master of None, specifically its 57-minute episode) that are given the freedom to be overstuffed."
