News Article "The Internet tantrums have begun." -Thanks to Netflix's New split release model.

One common point of contention among both critics and viewers of the new season of Wednesday is Netflix's decision to split the release into two parts. As the first four episodes set up a satisfying new mystery, many feel the mid-season cutoff is abrupt and disrupts the show's momentum, leaving viewers with an "unsatisfying appetizer" rather than a complete meal.

"Fans will have to wait until Wednesday, Sept. 3, for Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 – which will conclude with episodes five through eight."

With so many taking it to the Internet streets; Is the uproar warranted? Or are we just spoiled brats moonlighting as binge divas?

I agree.💯 

And for those complaining about the month split? 

They should watch one episode per week until September huh? 

How dare you? 😠

I agree! They should have watched tv in the 80s! Four channels to choose from and you had to wait a week to see a new episode, plus months and months until a new season. Kids these days, don’t know how lucky they have it! 😉lol

Now you only have to wait two or three years for a new season, how grand! And instead of 30 episodes per season, you get 8. I mean. That's if it survives for more than a season or two.

But nowadays we're paying premium to be able to stream when we want, ad-free. This is not the '80s any more.

Also, if you missed the episode, you never knew when it was going to be rerun. 😩

And if something else was going on Monday night, you’d hope nothing lined up with that particular episode of Alf during summer reruns.

That is what I am doing. Although that is what I do with most series, so I have things to look forward to during the week, and get more time with a series.

I do not have the self-control to do this. I love Apple TV for forcing it on me, lol.

Nah, I just tried to get back into Wednesday for the second half and I legit can’t. I usually wait, but I had no idea it would slaughter the momentum.

I decided not to finish.

What do you have against people complaining?

That’s the intended model. Not binging.
