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?

Apple does it the best way. Release the first two episodes then go weekly.
severance was a good example of a show that really grabbed a following the last few weeks of the season 2 run. There's no way that show is as successful as it was if they all dropped on day one.
I expect Chief of War to be similar. First two episodes are pretty good. If episodes 3 and 4 are good the next two weeks you'll start to get really good word of mouth.
