Question for SITV people

Posted by Beaker (aka Anniebecca) Feb 22 '21, 11:09

Have you discussed/compared the way different streamers treat their release of episodes?

Netflix drops all at once. Allows for a binge but then gone.

D+ with WandaVision doing 1 a week gets the watercooler discussion, breakdown of each epi articles for 2 and a half months. Gives them alot more coverage and weekly reminders that their shows exist

Responses:

We love the weekly. As you sort of mentioned, so much more enjoyment out of it to have a week of thoughts/talks/speculation after each episode. -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 11:23 1
- I'm with David and Jim, absolutely hate it -- nm - decline Feb 22, 11:29
I've had that conversation a number of times, although not necessarily on the show. - Mop Feb 22, 11:13 2
- although Netflix has been doing some of the 1-2 a week method lately (like Sisyphus:The Myth that just came out) -- (edited) - decline Feb 22, 11:17 1
  - They're somewhat beholden to their international partners. The new season of the Great British Baking Show was weekly, too. - Mop Feb 22, 11:21
We have some, yeah. I hate the old school weekly airing model. However, it makes sense for non-Netflix folks. They don't have as much new content. -- nm - David Feb 22, 11:10 3
- We hate it too. So, we just save stuff like that and binge when it's all out. We did that with Mandalorian S2 and are doing it with Zoey - Johnny Lawrence Feb 22, 11:18 2
  - The data indicates some people do indeed prefer this method, as the Mandalorian was still charting 3 weeks after the last episode aired. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 11:22 1
    - We have consumed so much shit on Netflix during the pandemic that the wait for a weekly episode is something we really don't want to do anymore. lol - Johnny Lawrence Feb 22, 11:26
