    Is watching the whole series not enough? For me it’s removing the option to choose my own pace. People can choose to watch slowly if they want, but you can’t binge if it’s not available. I dont even bother with shows until the whole season is out, so it’s limiting the engagement for me, but that’s my own preference.

      A lot of people cancel after watching the series. Releasing over several weeks allows for a continual revenue stream over those weeks. For people who like bingeing, the show is pretty much always up in full at the end of its run.
