Comment on Weekly Episode Releases Are an Outdated, Frustrating Way to Watch TV

Shrug Some people like it one way, some people like it the other way. A slower release format lets you marinate on an episode and generates more discussion. When an entire season drops at a time individual episodes tend to just blur together. I don’t think your assertion that nobody likes the weekly format is accurate at all.

Weekly people can watch them once a week. The rest must watch them once a week, build a buffer, or just wait for the season, while avoiding spoilers for the latter two.

The issue with avoiding spoilers is exactly the same if you don’t watch it right away when an entire season drops. And it kills the discussion of individual episodes among the community if some people are just binge watching and others aren’t. I don’t personally feel strongly about either release format, but I definitely think there’s not a clearcut answer to which is better.

This is much worse for weekly people trying to pace themselves on a binge-dumped show.
Personally, I think it absolutely depends on the show itself and how the creators want it viewed. Some do well with a week to ruminate and build excitement. Some do better as just this “thing” you need to see as quickly as possible. I think there’s room for both.
