In the US the production schedules have been impacted significantly by the unions. This is not a bad thing. Syndicated TV shows used to run absolute hell production schedules. The actors, stage crews and editing teams were basically being worked to death to get a new episode out every week.
Also, audience expectations have gotten a lot higher. The production quality on Strange New Worlds is better than a lot of movies I’ve seen. It looks good, it sounds good, it’s well choreographed, it’s well shot. Costumes, makeup, props and special effects are doing consistently high quality work, and that’s time consuming.

I’d rather it look like TNG and have 24 episodes per season and a new season every year
