This is a fairly common exercise, but if you haven’t run into it before, here you go:
1) Pick a TV Show you like, or at least that you are interested in learning about
2) Play an episode in a medium where you can pause it
3) take notes on the high level what-happens and the emotions that occur; if there are commercial breaks, mark these, as they are often act breaks.
4) When the show is done, go back through your notes and see if you can identify patterns, structure, and what was good about the episode
Be warned, this can be very enlightening. Too much so.
I did this to an episode of Bleach once, and now all the combat-escalation based Anime are easy to predict.
