    Maybe I’m weird but sometimes I actually enjoy streaming one episode per week, especially if I like the show, it just forces me to spread it out.

      I used to hate the weekly model when streaming became popular, but I think people are better viewers when they watch weekly. It’s easier to have ongoing water cooler conversations about each episode, so your show gets consistent buzz. Plus you don’t have the extreme of a whole year+ to wait between seasons. If a classic show ended in May you could start a new season in September. By the time most modern shows have new seasons, I forgot 40% of what I saw last season.

      Dude id be fine with like 3 per week… if they do 13-14 episodes then they guaranteed two months streaming income. As it is… yes im gonna just keep rotating streaming services.

      There’s so many shows that I watch one episode of something with the wife every night, and we haven’t run out of stuff to watch in years. We like to watch one show at a time till we finish the season before we move on to something else, so we just wait till the show or season is over

      I much prefer one episode a week. However the wife doesn’t. This is the main reason we never finished Flash. Also because she felt we had to watch all the arrow verse shows in order to watch Flash and she decided it wasn’t worth it once to do that you’d have to watch one episode of Arrow than one of Flash, then one of DC’s Legend of Tomarrow.

      I spread it out regardless, I just don’t want to pick up a show without a conclusion.
