Consensus seems to be disliking this change, but curious if there are other perspectives

I'm not really a fan of the long wait times between seasons, but I think it's fine if a season is only 8-12 episodes instead of 20 as long as the writing is rich enough to make up for the reduction in runtime. I've been watching Slow Horses for a while (Gary Oldman is great in it) and its seasons are only 6 episodes long, but it's got a lot to it.
