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 stopped watching You when they split that season. Not on purpose but I completely forgot about it by the time the second half released.

I’ve done that with a few shows.

So you're just a casual viewer? Not truly connected to any fandom. Just passing time which is worse.

Why does everyone need to be "truly connected to any fandom" to have a valid take on something? It's a fictional show with fictional characters. It's not earth-shattering history in the making. "Fandoms" are just ridiculous for adults.

There's nothing wrong with just casually watching a show...

No there's not. Seven Brothers Seven Minds. We each consume differently.

No I was into the show and binged each season. There was just other good shows that came out at the time and because of the split season i lost interest after the first half.

Also I watch many shows that do a weekly release. I think that strategy is much better than a split release
