I know taste and personality is very subjective, but I preferred the earlier seasons of BTVS, which had more modular episodes & plots. S5, particularly the back half, was very Arc heavy. Which, clearly, didn't work for me as well as it did others.
Not that I rewatch a lot of BtVS anymore (when I watch older shows, I'm now more into watching shows I didn't watch the first time around) but it makes it harder for me to rewatch many of the latter season episodes.
Which, suggests I'm more of a fan of procedural than arc heavy style. Kind of odd, I guess. I don't assess the shows I currently watch based on re-watchability (which is something procedurals do better with) and yet that's how I find myself judging seasons as a whole.
