My coworker in Denver said he only watches shows with a single director now

He argued it creates a more consistent vision, and after watching 'The Queen's Gambit', I think he's onto something. Has anyone else noticed a show's quality seems tied to having one director for the whole season?

Yeah, that single director thing really shows in shows like Chernobyl. The whole tone feels tight and focused, which I miss when a season has a new director every episode. It can make the story feel a bit messy by the end.

Totally agree with you @noah_barnes. That tight focus is everything for a heavy story. You get one clear vision all the way through. When it switches up every week, the feel of the show can get shaky. It's like the story loses its grip on you. Chernobyl is a perfect example of how a single director holds the mood together from start to finish.
