The genre as a concept arises from the accrual of texts and conventions. This includes texts and conventions both within a specific genre and texts and conventions in otherwise unrelated genres. The addition, transformation, variation, alteration, and/or reproduction of these texts and conventions causes the genres to shift in composition, creating a malleable form which can vary significantly from viewer to viewer and when looked at during different historical contexts.

I think these kinds of things are best when marathoned vs weekly watching anyway.
