10 episode seasons.

I think something worth considering is if an episode is actually filler or not. For me, filler is, well, filler. Biding time.

A lot of times, when people say it, they just mean an episode that didn't immediately move the plot forward, even if it had character development/fleshing out. A breather is fine, ideal even, depending on the show. I guess when I think of filler, I usually think of clip shows or poorly-executed bottle episodes.

10 is perfect.

Depends on the show. Got did tremendously with 10 and failed abysmally with 6.

A show like x filed or supernatural that put out a lot of monster of the week “filler” needs 22 for me cause I genuinely love that.

Sons of Anarchy would have been terrible with 23 and Lost would probably have been even bigger with only 10.

10 is ideal

22 often has filler

6 is too short

I would hope that when we are all creating episodes of our own shows for the FAN streaming app, that we make sure to add as much filler as possible to maximize content and to justify jacking up the subscription price at regular intervals.
