there is a reason that I don't watch shows on tv anymore. When I sit down to watch something I want a little more meat than a twenty five minute show. I wish the episode were an hour if they planned on doing the one a week release.
shareThe length of episodes is not determined by what you want, it's about production and writing. Just wait until the season's over and watch them all at once. Problem solved.

I think Amazon will not get the same results they would have had they released them a season at time or at least two episodes at a time.
Netflix was able to capitalize on the House of Cards and the fact that people were binge watching it to generate a positive spin about the show that was picked up by the general media. Amazon has had none of that buzz
It was a much better viewing experience. The habits of watching a show is chancing with the invent of steaming video; I 'm glad Amazon got it this for season 2.
The only problem with the new arrangement is that I downloaded all ten episodes. And watched them in two days. Fortunately, they are great programs and bear repeated viewing, but it is still going to be a hell of a wait until series three.
shareI'd like to see a comedic series that's an hour long, or 45 minute without commercials. Back-to-back episodes don't count but what's covered in two-parters would be suffice. If a plot can be wrapped up in 20 minutes, start another one. The major networks wouldn't go for it because they pretty much rely on show having one consistent time slot but for some shows I'd like to see 2 or more new episodes week. Friday & Saturday nights are often reruns & time for DVRs to catch newish episodes so throw in a new episode then.
