Frequently, TV debuts on streaming platforms such as Disney+ and Hulu nowadays release multiple episodes in the initial week, apparently with the aim of generating excitement for promotional purposes. It appears that this trend isn’t likely to change anytime soon, from Daredevil: Born Again to Star Wars: Andor.
This idea isn’t something fresh or unfamiliar. Back when I was young, the anticipation for a “full-length premiere” of a series or season (though technically it wasn’t an hour due to commercials) was palpable. At that time, we didn’t have the luxury of on-demand viewing, so missing the premiere meant you couldn’t simply log into an app and watch it later (at least not in my household). The excitement surrounding the premiere and the event itself was both thrilling.
Even though streaming services offer on-demand viewing, there’s an effort to revive the event-based viewing experience. However, many people aren’t making use of this option. With our adult responsibilities and jobs, why stay up late to watch a series premiere in multiple episodes when you can start it later the next day, or even wait until the weekend to watch it at your leisure without worrying about falling asleep unexpectedly?
Instead of saying “I don’t hate multiple-episode premieres because I’m chronically tired,” you could rephrase it as: “I dislike multiple-episode premieres due to spoilers. I prefer to savor one episode at a time, allowing me to fully digest the story before moving on to the next. Being forced to consume several episodes at once or wait feels like a task rather than an enjoyable experience.
The online TV viewing experience now seems to prioritize capturing people’s attention rather than just providing entertainment. It’s all about who can deliver the most trending opinions or critiques, as the speed at which one watches affects the number of clicks and views on related content. In essence, algorithms dictate enjoyment in this scenario, every single time.
Finding a balance between avoiding social media, which is part of your professional obligations, yet not getting early access to it, truly presents an unsolvable conundrum.
