Fair. I used to tell friends who were really into Sons of Anarchy that it was just a soap opera for dude bros and they got really upset about it.

At least before Discovery, every episode was a self-contained story with the occasional two-parter so it doesn't technically qualify as a soap opera nerd

DS9 introduced longer arcs, but every episode within an arc had A and B plots that got wound up by the end of the episode.

SciFi soap opera with allegorical plots is pretty accurate. The best moments in soaps is when they do weird shit that's fantasy/sci-fi adjacent from what I've heard anyway.

Yeah except when they are at warp speed then it’s a soap opera in sub space
