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?

pretty sure they do it so that most people will pay for at least 2 months of subscription

Why not release 1 episode a week at this point? I think Netflix is admitting that binging does not make them money and weekly tv was the right way to go all along.

Because Netflix subs are monthly. So they would essentially be doing the same as they are now, but with a longer gap of a few months would earn them more money.
