It turns out viewers love stories that are broken down into individual chapters.
Books used to be told this way, too.
Although mostly gone by the wayside, serialization enjoyed a brief revival in the 80s and 90s.

One such story captured the cultural zeitgeist:The Green Mile.
March 28 marks the 20th anniversary of the first installment of Stephen KingsThe Green Mile.
He was still writing.
I have always loved stories told in episodes, King wrote in an introduction to the first section.
Tom De Havenreviewed The Two Dead Girls for EW, and reveled in the storys unique format.
Well, obviously thats not going to happen here.
King hasnt attempted something similar since; few people have.
In the meantime, happy 20th birthday, John Coffey.
