the self contained episodes were the least interesting. 

Although there is an ongoing storyline, each episode introduces characters who don't keep reappearing episode after episode.   Watching an episode on its own is good fun.

By contrast a lot of new series are just one long story such as Breaking Bad, The Man in the High Castle, Star Trek Discovery and Star Trek Picard.  Rather pointless watching any episode if you haven't watch ALL the previous episodes.

yeah, the  shows with the intricate story arcs that are taken forward every week can be a little hard going and not something you can dip your toe in and out of. Also depends on whether you enjoy the story arc. I found the PoI story arc to be really enjoyable when it got going and the stand alone episodes for the most, a  little dull in comparison. But really enjoyed the series overall. The PoI episode half way through Season 3 - Devil's Share I think - is outstanding, as is Control-Alt-Delete. Won't summarise the plot in case you haven't yet seen. 

In terms of balance between the story arc and "monster of the week" episodes, the X-Files from Season 3 on really got the balance right.  In fact their stand alone episodes became much more enjoyable than the convoluted alien invasion/Govt conspiracy "main" story.....
