Wow they built up that supe terrorist to be a villain in the next season and then kill him off in the first 3 minutes... Probably smart to keep the focus on the real villains of the show.

The best show on TV (Better Call Saul) is much improved by not having to wait a week between episodes. I have no problem with episodic content doing a staggered release but in the age of streaming and serialized shows it's dumb as gently caress. Just means I gotta wait until October to watch The Boys I guess.

I think the genreblending of prestige TV leading to TV shows just being a single 8-10 hour film has actually lead to worse storytelling over the years. Every TV show that is produced with binging in mind is written so that every development ramps up harder and faster than the previous one, so that the escalation constantly tops itself. This leads to stories like Breaking Bad where what’s happening at the end of the season is so much more intense and removed from the first couple episodes that they end up not mattering. When a show is intentionally released episodically, it means each episode is intended to tell its OWN STORY of addition to telling parts of a larger story. They are honesty just two distinct methods for storytelling, but I prefer the drip-feed to the binge. Also one thing that sucks is watching an episode of a show with your GF, then you pass out, and when you wake up she’s finished the entire show! Rude!

By that reasoning you think they are releasing a 3 episode arc, with 5 stand alones? I doubt that very much, it will be the same as last season, they are just rationing it.

No I think they shot all the principal and finished editing the first half of the show, then the plague hit and all the editors and sound guys had to figure out how to WFH and that’s why they’re releasing it this way.

I thought they finished filming in November? Kirpke tweeted that they were putting the finishing touches to sound and vfx on may 26th. Though he may well have been lying, I don't see why he would. I am going to keep an open mind about their motivations, perhaps with the increased budget there is a need for increased viewing numbers and 10+5 weeks of marketing + hype is their method. Which other shows have Amazon staggered the episode releases?

Reminder: The Mandalorian released week-to-week and Baby Yoda owned Twitter for nearly that entire ten week window. The Boys S1 dropped all at once and social was mostly over it after a month.

It's unfair to compare something to anything Star Wars. People are still writing novel length reviews about the Empire Strikes Back. Compare it to something with less of a built in crazy fanbase that released on a staggered schedule, like Love Is Blind.

Yeah, there have been a few notable exceptions, like House of Cards and Stranger Things, but overall going all at once more often leads to people burning through the show over a weekend and mostly forgetting about it until next year.

After the success of The Mandalorian, it was only a matter of time before a streaming service (that isn’t Hulu) took one of their ultra-popular shows and experimented with a drip feed to try and stretch out the real estate it occupies in people’s minds.

One show that is on Prime that I really enjoy, having read all the books that are out, and watched every episode, in a totally legitimate way, when they broadcast is The Expanse. I still haven't seen the last 2 episodes, I just haven't got around to it for some reason.  I dont know why.This 50/50 approach maybe a happy medium, satisfy a pent up demand with a multi episode drop then tease out the remainder. I am keeping an open mind.

GD_American posted:You don't, though. Only insane people would expect you to be done with a show within the first month of release. If they can't keep their loving yap shut, they're not a friend. Case in point: Zazz Razzamatazz posted:Wow they built up that supe terrorist to be a villain in the next season and then kill him off in the first 3 minutes... So I was dealing with car issues yesterday and totally forgot there was a preview dropping. So gently caress me if I didn't want that (minor but interesting) point revealed until I watched the preview. All bingeblock TV is like that. You miss out on the 'critical period' and all of a sudden you wake up to a tweet or FB post about how "OMG ELEVEN IS A CLONE OF THE HIVEQUEEN?!" or "How Sprite's death will ROCK the next season of Rainbow Bright and the Spectrum Warriors"

There's nothing inherently wrong with that style of storytelling, though. The first two seasons of Santa Clarita Diet are basically a single continuous crescendo and it makes for some incredible TV. It's not ideal for every series but good writers can do great things writing for streaming release. If anything I think more shows are ruined by being overly episodic, although most series that I've seen in the streaming age seem to have found some kind of balance.

It'll be interesting to see the interaction between Homelander and Stormfront. He seemed a little annoyed to see her. I thought the Vaughn lady got fired/quit? Or did she get promoted up to Stillwells position?

PostNouveau posted:I read that as him being mad that he wasn't consulted about the new addition to the team. There's that, but I think there's an element of having to share the spotlight. If they shoved another meek Starlight-esque farmgirl onto the team he probably wouldn't have cared so much, but in the brief little intro video they establish that she is a strong personality with a big following and that really gets under Homelander's skin. (There's also an implication that this isn't how Vought normally manages their superhero brands. Homelander and especially Maeve are confused why a well-established popular supe is showing up at a shoot for the Seven; the idea that she might have anything to do with the opening(s) on the team doesn't seem to occur to them. Vought seems to like tapping young up-and-comers for the Seven instead of cannibalizing their own brands, so Homelander and Maeve are taken off-guard.)

This is like when a movie that just came out is labeled an "instant classic" or "immediately timeless". If it hasn't been out for at least a decade you should be extremely suspicious of anything, in specific or aggregate, being hailed as some variant of "the best ever". Like did you even read the example list? What complete buffoon thought 24 or Once Upon A Time deserved to share page space with Oz or Homicide?

the last two shows I watched week to week were the outsider and watchmen and both felt like a huge, disappointing waste of time. Releasing an already-finished show in increments is objectively worse for the consumer. I also find that I'm much more likely to get spoiled on weekly shows because everyone's watching it and either spoils the book it's based on (Outsider) or someone just guesses everything accurately or it leaks (Watchmen). Anyways I'm really glad that this season is not gonna be about (sneak peak spoilers) the Super-terrorist and also Aya Cash was great in that little clip.

When I watched Watchmen (which I absolutely loved!) I would limit myself to 2 episodes a day on purpose and really enjoyed viewing it that way. Watchmen is even better now than it was when I watched it 6 months ago, because it’s even more prescient and relevant than it was.

Releasing an already-finished show in increments is objectively worse for the consumer. Weekly episode releases are not worse for the consumer. If you have a show that is going to generate discussions, and try to build some buzz, weekly releases is by the superior way to go. Imagine if GoT season dropped all at once and some people binged the season in one go whole you watched 2 episodes before going to bed and then you woke up to discussions of how crazy the Red Wedding was, and that people can’t believe Robb Stark got killed in that way. If you prefer binging, you already don’t care as much about spoilers (unless you are one of those people who stays up until 6am watching things in one go), and people who love binging can wait until a season is done airing and schedule their viewing as they please.
