Why did the whole series come out on one day?

That's usually how Netflix releases original series

The show is on Netflix. In case you already knew that, they decided to start releasing entire blocks of shows because NF believes watching TV weekly is a thing of the past.

If episodes come out once a week, there is more suspension, more fan groups etc, hence more popularity and money from advertising.. i think

You must not know how Netflix shows work.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

Yes! You must be new-ish to Netflix. Each of their original series seasons all come out at once, as do the following seasons. Good for bingeing.

I hope this show gets the attention it deserves. I was laughing my butt off. With all the depressing politics and it's ugly winter time, I watched this in 2 days. It was hysterical. I had no idea Timothy O could be so funny. Also I'm sad the message boards are closing. There are a lot of people who write unacceptable things on here, but I wish IMDB would just ban them. There are a lot of helpful things on these boards too.

It's how network/cable/premium television was supposed to work. Commercial free which didn't work out for most networks, and then more recently with VoD you'd watch shows on your schedule.

We pay the cable provider instead of the network and they produce the shows based on that income. But they all got hooked on ad money and giving us channels we didn't want and aired shows in time slots we might not have found convenient. It became less about what you're watching but getting audiences to watch AND pay attention to the ads. Enter Video on Demand services and set-top-box digital video recorders.

It wasn't worth paying them as much as people are paying for monthly Netflix subscriptions (consider paying CBS 8$ a month, versus watching it for free on an ad funded model) but when you have this much content (and not just a few passable sitcoms and dramas) and an easy way to serve it up (internet) NF ends up sitting on a crazy amount of money and a loyal audience that aren't tied to watching TV on a network's schedule.

They are doing an interesting thing with dropping original content for binge watching because that still lets people get the most of their subscriptions for the rest of the month.

After binging only a couple of NF shows so far though I can still see an issue with the show being spoiled if not everyone can binge it all on day 1. They aren't the style of things that can really be spoiled so I suppose it doesn't matter. Rip for the people that can't binge.
