In structural terms, I've always drawn far more from television than novels for my serials. The TV form aligns more naturally - especially slightly older TV from the 90s and 2000s.

Definitely! It's where I got a lot of ideas for structuring serials; the set up of episodes in a season in a long-arc show is a very useful tool for serial writing. If you look at my spreadsheet you'll see a lot of that still there. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E6I6Z4TwKgVtUTaid28J2ng_tSxU0HjauV9OievkcTE/edit?usp=sharing
