Do you prefer week-by-week or a full series drop?

[Parmandur]

Full-dtop. Weekly is for the birds. Any show that drops weekly, I'm just going to wait for it to be all out anyways.

I don’t care if it’s a full drop, just drop whatever is ready when it’s ready. Don’t artificially make me wait.

Yeah, in TV seasons of old theybwdre broadcasting pretty soon after shooting each episode.

Yea. Nowadays they’ll have several episodes in the can even if they dole them out weekly. Just no. It’s like the new DnD channel making people wait for exact times to watch prerecorded shows. It’s kinda dumb.

I like both, however, writing and execution is huge. Netflix series tend to work very well as a binge drop. HBO does the weekly release better than anyone. Amazon Prime is absolutely terrible at the weekly release.

I like the weekly drop so there is a chance to ponder, discuss, speculate (and obsess!) over what will happen next with friends and online strangers.

I prefer the full drop because then the viewer can choose how they want to watch the show. If you want to watch one a day or one a week or one a month, that's entirely up to you. Weekly drops artificially extend subscriptions.

You know you can do that with a weekly drop too? You just do it a few weeks later.

So I guess really it’s wanting to have it sooner, not wanting to be able to binge it.

I voted full drop, but not because I'm a binger. I just want to watching things on my schedule, not somebody else's. With streaming services the thing now that's less of an issue, but full drop leans into that better.

This.

Full drop, but watch it at my pace. Weekly, I often wait until it's done to start watching it. I used to do that with my VHS recorder. Record a season of B5 and then bing it. My friends hated me because they couldn't discuss the show during our weekly games until I was done.
