I think Netflix should ditch the binge model. I find shows that are released weekly get more buzz on social media.

They do! And shows stay with you longer if you watch something over a few weeks as opposed to watching something over a day or two. Plus, the community just has a chance to all be on the same ep and discuss stuff.
When OITNB was really big, you’d hear about it everywhere for about 3 days and then it would be promptly forgotten until the next season.

exactly! it's fun being able to theorize stuff week-by-week and discuss it together, rather than have to binge it in a day or two to avoid spoilers and not really absorb it. I couldn't watch Stranger Things season 4 right away so I totally missed the boat on all the discussion and fun.
I think they're the only streaming service that clings to the binge model, I guess because they started it. But it's really not a good idea.

I think it was considered the way forward and the future of TV series; they didn’t really envision the downsides. And now, of course, there are those that have gotten used to it and still want to binge everything. I just feel the emotional connection is lost, or never even formed to begin with.
I don’t mind reality TV shows like Love is Blind dropping 3-4 eps at a time to binge because that is basically throwaway TV, but for scripted shows the weekly model works much better.

Yeah I think at first, people thought I was fun and there are definitely people who say they wait for the entire season to binge it at once, but I agree, I feel way more of an emotional connection to a show if I took time to watch it slowly.

Mte, like that worked so well with Wandavision.

[yami_no_hoshi]

Yes!! The weekly discussions for that were so fun!

THAT EXTRA IN THE BACKGROUND WAS 100% MEPHISTO GUYS

i loved those posts every week lol

[yami_no_hoshi]

I was so convinced she was going to be revealed as a mutant and it was the way the X-men were gonna be introduced!! oh well lol, still fun to theorize!!

[maryjanewatson]

it was so fun seeing all the discussion and trying to figure out exactly which song eddie was gonna be playing. and it only worked bc vol 1 made ppl care abt him enough and then gave ppl time to speculate

the scene wouldn't have been as epic if it was just in the middle of a binge

[yami_no_hoshi]

I felt so removed from the fun because I watched it like a month after it finished so I went back and read the posts, but it wasn’t the same 😭 plus I got spoiled for a lot lol

I didn’t connect to Eddie that much but I wonder if I would have liked him more if I didn’t watch it after he had been so hyped. This is why we need weekly release!! Build organic buzz and discussion!!

i think the bear s2, even though it's not on netflix, is one of those shows that suffered from being released all at once

[yami_no_hoshi]

I haven't watched it yet but I agree in general, I feel like bingeing a show just doesn't feel natural. it's so much better when you can sit with the characters for a bit before the next episode.

[my_moloko]

Totally agree.

[almostlawyer]

Definitely. Netflix shows drop, people talk about them for two weeks and them move on.
I prefer the weekly model, it's fun to talk about shows when everyone is watching the same ep.

[yami_no_hoshi]

Yeah! Besides Stranger Things, I feel like a lot of Netflix shows have no staying power when they come out. TV was meant for weekly release imo.
