They’re releasing the next batch in the same time as if they were releasing them weekly.
You can not like that, that’s totally fine. I do think it’s better for overall mindshare. When they release all the episodes, then those that are interested binge watch and then don’t discuss it after like two weeks.
If you don’t watch when everyone is talking about the show then it becomes another show on the list so you’ll get around to it sometime, maybe. But if someone says there’s more episodes coming up then you might be more likely to watch it before the second batch comes out.
As much as I prefer to binge watch shows, it does tamp down the water cooler talk.
Yep exactly my thoughts : “ho part 2 comes as if part 1 is supposed to be watched one episode per week”. Really feel with their new tendency to release only part they are starting to understand that releasing a new show / season all at once makes for a poorer experience. (And maybe it avoids people subscribing for one month only when there is a new release)
Too bad they don’t go all the way and truely release weekly. It won’t feel like season has been chopped and that you need to wait to watch the end.
Sure it is nice to binged watch it but it’s more appropriate for shows already aired. For new show / season, IMO, it makes it more difficult to speak about episodes with others and to imagine what it’s going to happen next. Prime, Apple, Disney, … understand it.

I think the split release is an ok compromise.
Is the purpose of this to try and maximize Netflix’s profits by word of mouth marketing in the hope of not having a show cancelled?
