For me it depends on the genre and plot. Noir/political/scifi thrillers can run up to 10 episodes. Straightforward love stories, daily life, and coming-of-age stories should be kept to the minimum, like 6 episodes. The recent trend I also noticed is pacing. If your story can be told in 6 or 8 episodes, don’t stretch it to 10, regardless of the genre.
