Netflix is pretty much the last, or one of the last, services that releases full seasons of tv shows all at once. It’s one of the things they were known for, binge watching shows. And now, with series after series they are abandoning that. Just like they abandoned having a wide selection. Just like they abandoned account sharing. Just like they abandoned having no commercials. Just like they abandoned pretty much everything that initially made them so great. And on top of that, they are notorious for cancelling shows so much so that it’s almost foolish to get attached to anything until the series is fully released.
So, Stranger Things ending is hardly the/a problem for Netflix, in my opinion. The series is due for an end, it needs to go, a show based on children like this was always going to have to end eventually. The problem is Netflix has decided to go all in on suckage and selling out and crapification and enshitification. They’ll be around for a good long time just based on inertia, but it will never be even a fraction as great as it was in the early days.
This season of Stranger Things was 4 episodes released back on the 26th, 3 more episodes on Christmas, and then the final episode on New Year’s Eve. I think it’s a pretty decent compromise.
I don’t, and netflix was the only streaming service that I was aware of dropping entire seasons at once that I have subscribed to. It was the primary reason for watching any streaming series for me.
Hearing people say positive things about weekly releases because of the waiting is like watching people enjoy series that were ended on a cliffhanger would be. There’s more discussion if it isn’t finished!

No, that is just weekly schedule in chunks.
I will continue to wait for entire seasons to come out before I am willing to watch any show. Fuck this slow drip shit.
if you engage in the online discussions for a show, it can be kinda fun
I do that with the Boys. It’s a blast coming up with theories and repeating cool parts all at the same time

If you want to binge any show, wait until it’s over.
Ill just wait for the full season to be on usenet
This is the way.
Exactly. We haven’t had Netflix for like 6 months or more now, and only sometimes miss shows, but not enough to resubscribe.
