Weekly Netflix Episodes Will Kill the Company.

I know, I will probably forget about the show if it doesn't update me or something that there's new episodes. I wonder why they're trying it out with this show. I like the whole being able to binge watch an entire new season in 3 days part of Netflix, and they have some really good shows too. So boo that they're trying to do the whole "tv" thing.

Blood is thicker than water and much tastier!

uhm... this isn't a Netflix Original Series. they just happened to make a deal with the Canadian network "City" which airs it weekly.

Netflix has five the same with the latest season of Orphan Black on Netflix NL and Better Call Saul on Netflix Germany

I agree. Netflix is all about binge watching. There are tons of shows that people give up on in the first few episodes and then later on it gets good.

The reason they cannot add the entire series is because it's currently airing in Canada weekly. It's also because of who they partnered with. As a company, their hands are tied. I agree, they shouldn't have put "Netflix Original Series," if it is also simultaneously airing in Canada on broadcast television.

Here's the article that explains this: http://www.hitfix.com/the-dartboard/netflix-avoiding-binge-watching-model-for-between

The way I see it, it's business, and if we don't work in that industry, we just won't get it. Notice that in many countries they are streaming Better Call Saul. It's beyond my control...in the same way I want to binge-watch iZombie, but can't.

I don't know why Netflix does that thing where they show "a Netflix Original" in the beginning credits, but I've noticed that shows that air in other Channels tend to get weekly releases, Better Call Saul airs on AMC, The Returned aired on A&E, From Dusk 'Til Dawn aired on El Rey Network, etc. But the shows that are exclusively aired on Netflix are released with all their episodes together. I'm guessing they do this so people don't spoil the show for those who actually watch it on cable.

Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not.

I agree. People expect a series on Netflix to be released as an entire season at once for binge viewing. There's no excuse for them to be trying to adhere to the old broadcast TV paradigm. With this series it may not matter since it sucks and you probably wouldn't want to watch any more episodes beyond the first..that's if you even make it all the way through that one. Since I'm in my mid 60's I'm certainly way outside the intended demographic for a series like this, which looks like it would be more at home on the CW, which carries a lot of similar trash.

"I noticed that this show is going to be weekly. For netflix originals this is disastrous. It goes against the biggest appeal of Netflix's original content."

Remain calm, Netflix isn't a big Hollywood studio in so much debt that the flight or crash of one series will tank it.

Regardless of your argument, the show itself is terrible. Episode one was barely watchable. That's a bigger concern than your idea of a weekly release ruining the giant that is Netflix.

There is plenty of other great content: Bloodline, Kimmy Schmidt, and Orange is the New Black to name a few of my favorites.

There is nothing new about this.

This isn't a Netflix show, they just happened to get rights to release it online. This is a Canadian show that airs it weekly, and Netflix happens to release it online the next day, just like it does many American shows.

Their model isn't changing, it's the exact same model as before.
