I think this was bore out in their long tradition of premium television. They have the brand, the creative freedom, seems generally the best writers desire to work there.The full drop has become Netflix method generally (though they have been playing the half season drop game lately). The best track record with writing in a style that is suited to binge watching. Not just a long movie but a long movie you want to finish.Then, Amazon which is the worst of the weekly. Typically Amazon pays a production company for the rights of a season(s) for a show. When it hits they take it in house. This is when the Amazon template is applied. Start with a really good opening arc, spin wheels for weeks, try and wrap up too many lines and reset fir the next season in one final episode. Too many shoes to count can demonstrate this. I’d guess Amazon is based more on a format around advertising, podcast, keeping subs up then creating quality content. Having a general store and shipping business allows this sort of secondary nature to happen.I’d rate Apple and/or Disney but don’t have enough experience with their products.The TL: DR is both formats can be excellent if the writing is executed well and with intent first and foremost to tell a great story and not sell a simple product service.</blockquote>
