Native speaker please correct

Could you tell me how you would write this rant? Here are the 2 sentences I would like to say?

Here are my questions.

Is continuity correct?
Can an episode have its own entity?
Can a storyline end at the end of an episode and not carry own to the next?
Can you say an episode follows on from the last?

Can you make the sentence correct as if it was a review?

I don't like tv shows that have no continuity, where each episode is its own entity, at the end of the episode the storyline ends and it doesn't carry on to the next episode.

I don't like tv shows that have no continuity, where each episode doesn't follow on from the last, at the end of the episode the storyline ends and it doesn't carry on to the next episode.

Thanks

Well, you might say something like the following: For ease in screenwriting and programming, apparently (the modern attention span seems to be put off by the words "to be continued" at the end of an episode), television shows have always been mostly self-contained, with no continuing episodes, but I like the ones that are continued into the next week or two.
