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

Of course that’s why they do it. There’s no value to them for people who subscribe for a month then bounce.

Wait until season 2 pt2 streams. Sign up for Netflix after, watch all of Wednesday season 2. Netflix solved nothing.

If they sub the day the first half released, the sub wouldn't run out until Sept. 6th. So they'd have plenty of time to watch the last 4 eps.
