While there have been network TV shows that are able to tackle ambitious sci-fi plots, they can run into structural issues and limitations due to the nature of their schedules. Some high-concept premises need momentum to keep their story forging ahead, which is often better suited to a streaming platform that will release multi-episode batches, or an entire season at once. While weekly broadcasts were once able to sustain a high-concept show like La Brea, the modern disconnect has become clear in the past several years as shows like the three-season NBC series have struggled to hold viewer attention week-to-week.
