Reply to comment by im_thatoneguy in why do series shows always have so many seemingly random people directing every episode? by OctoberRust13

Even with series with 8 episodes, the load is shared between at least 2 directors and ADs.

With some recent exceptions like Flannagan directing all of Hill House and Midnight Mass, Lynch directing all 18 episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return, Sam Esmail with all episodes after season 1 of Mr. Robot, Mike White with White Lotus, etc.

Traditionally, British shows are 6 episodes and have one writer/director for all of them and don't have a writer's room. The one director for all episodes is something you find in prestige television, as someone mentioned above.
