      Yes and no. It came at a time when TV makers weren’t allowed to assume their viewers would watch every episode, in the right order. So while it does have a big overarching story, half the episodes are stupid filler episodes so people wouldn’t fall too far behind it they missed one or two. If it were made a couple of years later they could have gone hard in every episode.
