I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Netflix is really starting to push its luck with its new philosophy of breaking seasons of its bigger shows in half, airing them a month or more apart. Originally, this was supposed to be due to production times, like how the last couple episodes of Stranger Things season 4 weren’t done yet. Now? They do it with almost anything remotely big in season 2 or later.But there are only five episodes, most of them being around half an hour or so.
But these batches of 3-5 episodes split across a month or six is bad and takes you out of the show. I also have to believe that showrunners are now being instructed to try to set up arcs that have specific break points to accommodate this, possibly changing the cadence of how they wanted to structure episodes before, making the shows themselves potentially worse.
It seems like the clear reason this is happening is in order for Netflix to get people to keep their memberships for longer by not bothering to cancel them when their favorite show returns for more episodes in a season a while later. But it’s really impacted the viewing experience when Netflix’s binge model was previously the most beloved in the streaming space.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
