comparison I can think of within SW, and this absolutely exceeds that. CW was similar in terms of having 3-4 episode arcs and a huge cast, but the arcs were often unrelated and more serialized. You also had entire story lines within CW that were more geared towards kids since it was an animated show. But the depth of storytelling was similar in that The Clone Wars humanized all those clone troopers and many other monir characters and let us get to know them, and CW also gave us strong political drama in a similar way (there were entire arcs about the banking clan and how Palpatine manipulated them into funding both sides of the war)...all that being said, with this asa focused live action show it's going way further than CW ever did, and only 8 episodes into the first season.
