This is one thing I actually like them doing. I’m a social watcher and also have other things to do; I want to talk about an episode with friends afterwards, and the phenomenon of racing to binge watch an entire series in one or two sittings ruined that. (As well as forcing me to stay away from half the internet until I’ve binged the series myself due to spoilers). I don’t like being “forced” to binge, much rather savour it one episode at a time as it’s produced, really take in and enjoy and discuss the details of each one. Really makes you appreciate it more IMO.
I see your financial argument though, I guess you could wait until a series is over and then subscribe for 1 month and binge away. Or, of course, yarr.
