I have never had this problem of not dealing well with grand narratives but I am on the younger side so it is most of what I know and pure stand-alone tv just bores me now I need it to go towards something.While I personally definitely have a measure of this going on from the pandemic (and an aimless depression predating the pandemic), I think I've also just struggled for years with the era of every scripted television series wanting to be a grand serialized narrative. I like it, in theory, but I usually end up never actually watching things, and certainly am way less likely to ever rewatch things than I was back when my favorite shows came in self-contained episodes that welcomed me to watch them in any old order.
I just watch it erratically it helps if you watch it in a different room to where you spend most of your time.
