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?

When streamers bait me like this, I just wait to watch it. Sometimes I’ll forget about it entirely. It’s their loss either way.

If we wanted to wait for episodes, we could just watch tv. (Same for commercials).

So streamers should never use the traditional TV weekly episode model? 

Only binge model is acceptable?

Yes, I think that’s what made streamers unique when they first came out. Otherwise, cable would have never been usurped in popularity. Now, they are getting closer and closer to that same model.

"Usurped!" Tell me you genre without saying it out loud.🙃

Anyways you feel streaming services are trying to rewrite the script they've already forced us to accept during their hostile takeover?

I do. I hope they all don’t “bend the knee”.
