Why do some seasons of a series change directors for each episode?

I’ve found this aspect confusing trying to rationalise how a show can have a consistent theme to tell a story whilst having many different directors throughout a season, but it seems to be quite common practice while filming.

Because they are filming all episodes at the same time. And a director can only do one episode at a time. The story is done by the screen writers in advance so it is consistent. This way you can produce an episode much faster and can release a new season every year. If you do one episode after the other you will take much longer and it also will cost more in staff and actor salaries.
