I think there should be more variety in how shows are released and it should be based on what the creators feel like suits them best.
Something like Severance definitely benefits from the weekly release to give everyone time to speculate and keep up the suspense for longer.
With others it’s nice to just get the full season at once. I wouldn’t even say “bad” shows, but shows that are skewe more towards pure entertainment, action and mindless distraction (which do have their purpose). Something like say Reacher would fit that category imo
Andor struck an interesting middle ground imo by releasing 3 episode blocks at a time. For me that worked great. It gave us a similar amount of content like a long movie per week, which considering the quality was basically film level was the right balance between giving enough to feel like it was a full load of content, but not so much that you cant keep up and appreciate it.
I do like small chunks. I think 2 episode premiere plus a 2 episode finale is great. I think Andor did an excellent job with mini movies every week. I’m happy different shows experiment. Overall as long as we have a week to week momentum, I’m in.
