I respect people who prefer the binge format, but because one of the things I like about watching a new show is the Fandom and discussion around the show, I prefer weekly for that. It also allows for great episodes to stew in my mind for a longer time. Let's me and the only discussion focus on a smaller part of teh whole without just the whole thing being relevant.

A downside, in regards to the traditional weekly release format, is that with so many shows coming out, it can be difficult to keep track of everything; every show, every plotline, character names, etc. Shows that strike a healthy balance are those that come out weekly, but last 1hr 30m and only have a limited run, two or three episodes, i.e. Sherlock. Then again, simply writing the show, with the forethought that the show will be either episodic or binge-able can solve a lot of the criticisms. Excellent video, new sub!

This is why I like episodic TV series. Supernatural is 15 seasons long and there is an overarching story that gets built in the background or a looming threat for the season finale but each episode has it's own beginning, middle and end which gives it a feeling of accomplishment. Shows like The Walking Dead just have literally dead episodes that don't do anything, you could skip them and not miss anything. Episodic shows suffer from filler episodes but they're usually there to give the viewer a break from a heavy or intense arc. Game of Thrones was amazing for that reason, it's just a shame the quality disappeared in later seasons.

Just “binged” all your videos. Instantly subbed, if you keep up the quality of your videos, you’ll be soaring in views easily.

my jaw dropped when you said you are 19, your editing is so immaculate and the way you speak exemplifies it, i am also 19 and youve inspired me

There's just, too, many, options. When renting physically you were like "Oh we need to rent this one NEXT weekend maybe", so had something to look forward to. Now, that's gone. Everything is just WAY too convenient.

Dude the editing on this is so fucking good, the way you just splash together all of these clips from different shows together and there's all these clever transitions and some of the clips lead into what you're about to talk about, great shit. Big fan of Mr. Robot so my eyes lit up whenever I saw it lol

I prefer binge every time. I was born in the 80s. I have had my fill of weekly shows. Lol

how do you have only 900 views? you’re brilliant and your editing is top notch definitely earned a subscriber

I think weekly episodes might ne the right way to go from now on in streaming for the big titles of these services. The shows longevity and the discourse around it goes for longer and fans have this weekly excitation factor wanting to come back. Binging feels almost like fast food when you think about it. Amazon does in an interesting way as you mentioned, they release three first to get you into it and then go weekly

Dk how this has under 3k views. Really well explained and a lot of detail in your explanations as to why things are or aren't a certain way. Really great video dude. Reminds me of the critical drinker's videos except with more knowledge in film.

Nothing says a waste of time than waiting for the final episode for a disney plus show

I actually think there's actually a bigger thing that's killing Netflix that not many people are talking about. The thing is, when people subscribed to Netflix back in say 2014, nobody was there to the watch original programming that they shove in your face nowadays, they just wanted to watch the damn Bee Movie or whatever else was there and was familiar to the users. Sure many users discovered new shows too, but I think it's the acquired programming that was already familiar to people which made Netflix successful. Nowadays when you look at Netflix though, they're just pushing all these random shows nobody has ever heard of before. Netflix now focusing on originals makes sense. Most other major entertainment companies have their own streaming platform now, so there's really not a lot left Netflix can show besides originals. It's just sad really.

I absolutely love the use of the utopia theme in your videos

I really love your editing and the way you script your content really well. Good fucking job

Aaand my sub is earned. You could take a month on these videos and they'd still be bangers. Keep up the good work cause between this and the Booby Feet video (I ain't calling that creature Boba, whatever that thing is in the show they got Morison to play wasn't Boba Fett) YOU good sir have some real quality and you're speaking the truths that a lot of other lads have felt but haven't had the words to use. Keep it up you beautiful waffle you.

I found your channel today and it has been very impressive! Keep up the good work!

why not have the chaos hybrid of both have long arcs weekly and short arcs as batches and its upto the creators/leadership to tie it all in or fail doing so or not tie it in or not try to tie it in

Great video man! I prefer weekly but agreed some work better than others. I am subbed btw keep making amazing videos

I love binge, but I want some weekly shennaningans too. So glad found Van Helsing.

great channel, you grow fast in a secound, proud of you

Just found this channel and I must admit that this is fantastic work. I shall be certain to subscribe and turn on notifications. I also have to agree with the point how there should be a fine line between series that release it all at once and series that release on a weekly basis. A main point is how much Disney+ most recent series of Kenobi could've been aided by it being a binge series of it all being released at once. To not get into any spoilers to those who haven't seen it, it got a lot of negative attention due to the fact of the delay between each episode only worsened by the fact that there was only six episodes and each episode wasn't really that long and the entire series could easily be watched in one sitting. This caused the series to overall be weakened, especially since Disney hasn't been that great at all since they bought Lucasfilm, and it could've been viewed in a better light if it all came out at once. So yeah, I have to say that you are right my guy and I can only hope you continue to keep up the quality of your content.

Here's hoping this vid is another algorithm darling. Cheers.

I like how you're using Utopia music and clips

I like binging because I can’t stand silly cliff hangers and when the next episode arrives it takes 15-20 min to get to the point you want to see. I guess I’m used to it because of the physical releases of the Simpsons seasons

Good video man, keep up the great work bro😀👍❤️

Bro you are really underrated… great video👌🏽👏🏽

I love all your content so far!!

Which is why I still buy dvds,books,comics.

I’ve never really though of this, thanks for the analysis

love the utopia music in the background

I prefer binge but thats because thats more or less just how I like doing things. A lot of the same thing all at once. Also my work schedule is chaotic and I'd almost never make it to the TV for whatever show I'm watching.

Excited, new Typoh video

Thank you, I feel the same way!!! 👍

Love the little utopia snippets, that show doesn't get enough love

honest opinion, i think netflix is have a higher chance to die, and the number 1 reason is that almost every film production company have there own network and also thousands of movie and shows, like disney plus, hbo max, paramount plus and more. and if you want another great example, check the tear along the dotte line, there a clip that literally make fun of netflix and it also a netflix show, no joke, the main character said there really nothing new and relevant, for example, the sonic movie, paramount got it first, and i was like cool even mayby there were a bit late but netflix came too late, it like leonardo davinci going to nasa, and nasa just show there making something more relevant that old. you see the point, it not because the show is bad or not, it because there come late alot, it wasn't a problem before, but now there are screw, disney and hbo new cinema movies is more likely to come in there network faster, and netflix not as much. but yeah, that why netflix is falling off, and right now i actually want netflix to find a way to get better, listen feedbacks and more, because i dont want to the company fall and there shows to fall, be lost or on a another platform that just butcher it like zooming in the show and making it look bad.

Three videos? Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers!

So what’s up with changing the music in the video every 5 seconds?

Netflix has ads now. Surprise

Disney really just needs to make movies. the stretch is terrible.

This channel is cooool

Still a banger of a video don't let the low youtube numbers fool you.

What do you think of Wednesday? All episodes dropped at once and it felt much more like an eight hour movie then an eight episode season. How I miss those shows that had 22 episodes!

Typoh here again for the people

The halo show embodies all the problems with paramount plus

I notice that most Disney+ stuff only has 6 episodes Im pretty sure the obi wan show that I won’t watch noamter what will only have 6 episodes and I don’t think it’s getting a lot of support from Disney like they don’t fell like it’s going to be good or make profit

Amazing video man

I see TV Networks and Cable Channels having a longer chance of survival compared to Netflix. Their business model is way too unstable

camy sends his regards

This video probably wont get as many views as your previous videos but don't let that discourage you, after all your channel only has 3 total vids right now so since (technically) this vid doesn't match with the other 66% of your content the algorithm isn't treating it well, regardless this video is of the same quality as the previous and probably a more important one in the long term, keep on going

I like the 3 episodes a week strategy 🙂 it gives more and you still have to wait for the next 3🙂

I’m glad I kept my VHS 📼

Binging has its problems. I don't recommend it. Patience can reward your experience.

THE FUCKING UTOPIA OST!!!

Dear Typoh, good video :D

Invincible you can watch episodes 1,2, 7,8

Before watching the video I'd say too many services is the problem. Everybody saw what Netflix was doing and wanted to copy it but failed to realize that it's expensive to make top tier exclusive programming in abundance that people will stay loyal to. They should have just cut deals with Netflix for their content and made money from it that way. Not all the platforms have enough content to standalone. That's why so many have failed and will fail.

I find there’s not much I’m really interested in for a lot of the streaming services and so I’m not subscribed to most and I still have normal TV with a few streaming services I do watch, such as The Criterion Channel, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu are the big ones I’m subscribed to. I don’t have Netflix anymore as I’m not that fond of being subscribed to something with little I even have an interest in watching and I’ve never had a HBOMax or Disney+ subscription as they don’t offer exclusive shows or films I think I have to watch. Plus, I like physical media. It’s way better as you have the film or show and get the best quality of it as possible, plus I enjoy special features that often come with them. I also am not fond of binge watching. I can’t even begin to fathom binging through all of Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul. I watched those when they were airing new episodes every week for those seasons and it was more rewarding as it took time and you spent a long journey with those characters, where if you binge a show like those two, then the time spent with them is shorter and isn’t as fulfilling, in my opinion.

Yes!

i am typing this comment in hopes that it helps push the video in the algorithm. god bless.

great video again

wicked

I love this channel already

Well, looks like KZfaq is going to start blocking my comments again. I think the problem is too many different services, rates keep going up, but it seems like there is less content. Things leave all the time, you don't know when things leave. And the quality just isn't that good. I'd rather use free services and if it's something I really enjoy, I'll track down a disc.

I'm honestly okay with both. As long as it works for a specific show then let the writers and producers do what they want for said show.

Hey, saw you on EFAP yesterday and thought I'd check out some of your other videos. I will say that I do think that you've put a fair amount of thought into your points and did enjoy some of the exploration of this idea here, but something that stood out to me was that your script structure felt a bit unfocused. You tended to jump from point to point sometimes getting distracted by tangents and other times seeming to get tired of a tangent and cut it short before you reach the ultimate conclusion of it. There were times that I couldn't help but feel like I was going through a bad day managing my own ADHD at some points with how your script seemed to lose track of itself at times. Perhaps I'm misreading things, but between the speed, the jumps from idea to idea, the way that you'll go into a tangent that it feels like you regret having gone into, you may benefit from being able to try to find some ways to help manage your focus and direction a bit more (which I certainly couldn't really do before I got my diagnosis and learned about how to manage it myself at least). More on point for the video though, I do think this was a fun topic to explore and really appreciated your examples and the conclusions you were trying to draw from them. While the exploration at times felt like it would have benefited from going deeper, it was still fun to have the contrasting examples of how a show designed for weekly releases vs a binge watch really stands out and how the two should not be viewed as interchangable. Bringing up Invincible and how Amazon was able to help mitigate the downfalls by releasing the first three episodes in one go helped illuminate to me why in the past shows would regularly have like an hour long pilot only for the rest of the show to be only 30 minutes, as the time it takes to properly get setup and give the audience a good dose of what they can expect can often take longer than one episode. As a kind of comparison, I'm not sure if you've seen it but I've seen discussions (usually about anime) about how many episodes you should give a show or series before you know if it clicks with you or not, as afterall establishing the world, the rules, the characters, and getting the audience to invest in a series is a bit of an extra weight that only really needs to be asked for once all at the start (well new characters will need to get the audience to invest in them too, but when the audience is already invested in the world and other characters it's a much smaller ask and the audience can enjoy what is already going on while deciding if they want to invest in the new character and to what extent). Personally I tend to lean to feeling that if there's no hook by the third episode of something, then the show either isn't going to click with you or has big pacing problems (which since I've got ADHD is a *huge* detriment to my enjoyment, even if it's only on in the background) and seeing that Amazon seemed to agree at least on Invincible is fun to see. Anyways, I've probably gone on enough about my own tangent, but I do think that if you ever wanted to revisit the topic you might benefit from trying to further explore what about a show makes them more well suited for a weekly release or binge watching, and I don't just mean with setups and payoffs and how they connect, but fundementally what sort of stories, genres, whatever that benefit from sitting with someone for a week to think on and chat with people and what is better to be more actively engaged all throughout, maybe something like how important it is to get an answer to any given question may play into it? Something that also crosses my mind is that I've noticed there are shows that can benefit from the weekly structure to help 'hide' their flaws. For example, I know of a particularly well loved show that I watched as it came out where in one episode they introduced a group of archers that were able to capture the main character with relative ease. They got about two scenes in the episode they were introduced, and then the series forgot about them completely and since there was a lot else that happened that episode that would stick in your mind more, when the next episode came out in a week you'd forget about it while when binge watching you can be left asking, "Hey, why aren't you bringing your powerful archers to this important fight?" Conversely though binge-watching may be able to pull off a similar thing by overwhelming you with stuff that you remember more (even in the example I gave, the archers didn't leave a major impact on that episode as they never came back up, the main character may as well have been captured in his sleep to facilitate the main plot of that episode) in a kind of JJ Abrams style manner. It might be interesting to explore some time how both formats might be able to better hide or showcase different flaws in any given style of media. Haha, sorry for rambling myself there, just thought that I'd share my thoughts for you while leaving a comment. Looking forward to checking out more of your stuff as my focus allows!

I hate the fact that you only have 10k subs

Sorry for being this person. Et cetera is pronounced the way it's spelled. Switching the "t" with an "x" drives me nuts as a non-native English speaker.

I like watch in HD thats why I am watching on ScreenVariety , and you ??

I prefer Physical media always and forever

Binge

I'll just stick with KZfaq and regular TV movie theater and satellite. I don't have 1,000 dollar's.

jojos bizarre adventure is suffering terribly due to the ‘binge model’, but you could hardly call it a true binge model as Netflix just drop twelve 20 minute episodes of an anime that’s probably going to be 30-40 and said cya next year.. it’s like a shitty middle ground. Binge watchers can’t be satisfied for very long because it’s just not enough content, and the gap for new content is way too long (a year). And people who want to watch weekly feel pressured to finish the show before getting spoiled so they’re not satisfied either

Physical is still better than streaming

I'll be Buying more books, electronic media is unstable and undependable . It's also increasingly poor quality and stupid.

Some shows work as binge while other shows were really not written or directed for binge watching. For example a show like The Wire or The Sopranos, I would not like to even discuss those shows with someone who binge watched them. I would really feel like you didn’t appreciate the show or it’s subject matter. You could not have taken it all in.

You got Paramont wrong Star Trek

Well since you begged I will comment. Long story short. If a show is weekly. I wont watch it until it is all done. That is me thou. I cannot be expected to set a block of time each week to watch some show. What I can do thou is binge the crap out of a show that is worth my time. I know it is rather ironic that I cannot make 1 hour per week. But I can do 1 full day watching something. But what happens if 3 other shows come out and they are weekly?? That is 3 hours per week. I cannot!

i agre

man i just watched a couple of netflix and amazon series and movies... maaan... sooo bad, never seen so many unoriginal and boring sht for only 8€ a month... jesus...

I don't know it seems unfair to have the boys season 2 the example showing why week by week episodes don't work. Because wwwweeeeellll iT was bad. And not to mention invincible having a very boring opener Only proves that the Benge model is not helping there. it just a handicap Of what should have been a better show opener

utopia

I recon the "Straight to Blu-ray" and "DRM-FREE purchase Digital download" will make a comeback. It's a more stable monetary model that can still be profitable. Subscription streaming services add up where you continue to pay but will never own.

I’m really hoping the daredevil reboot will be good. I just finished watching daredevil and I liked it a lot.

8-26-22 I have a feeling why Binge Shows are a bit harder to make is that, if there is one bad episode in an episodic Structured show, it's no big deal. Just wait till the next episode. However, if you are watch a bingable show, one bad episode can make the whole experience soured. The Binge Model is just not as stable as the Episodic Structure.

I'm 19 and I grow up watching TV and binge watch the season on DVD, I discovered streaming in 2019 and I wasn't a fan of streaming when I discovered it but I saw the appeal since you could watch everything you want and no ads. But I grow up watching TV and watching movies on DVD. I started 2021 fully becoming into streaming and I enjoyed until my streaming service ( not hulu) started adding ads and every 5 minutes ads and some last 3 minutes and are unskippable and I was paying for it, but I got pissed and returned to TV but I did fill empty because in my area all shows have moved to streaming, so TV got boring cuz there is not a lot of content. But if streaming is heading for ads even if you subscribed... I'm scared for the future of streaming

youtube is king and piracy is better quality bro streaming is a scam

Bigger issue is the political garbage. People have a very ideological view of the world that makes it virtually impossible for them to make realistic characters. Sopranos would never get made today, it's horrifically depressing when you think about it. Good art can leverage the real world and project it into fiction. If you start from a political idea and try to project into fiction you just get a plastic world with less depth than a rpg. There's a reason foreign shows like Squid games are so much better than American made tv. They can build a world that feels real without excessive political baggage dropping into it.

O

I think steaming sucks and I hate bech watching

their throtting bandwith again its bs brah yt is the only one who cares and twitch and discord all the others i wanna cancel expcept my music there literally a scam unless u use a tv or phone or streambox pcs are like paperweights when it comes to streaming 4k movies'

Wait you don't like moonknight I get the other ones but moonknight oh you just don't like the concept of moonknight. That's like getting mad at family guy cause Peter doesn't fight the chicken guy enough the media franchise is about philosophy with superhero paint

I honestly hate people who defend the weekly release. The amount of people who go on to the internet and discuss with people each week is miniscule and not even worth it. I’d rather be able to binge the show and talk with my FAMILY or FRIENDS like they used to back in the old days. Then it gives everyone what they want. People can watch weekly and still talk about the show on the internet while people who want to binge can binge. People who think weekly only is the best are honestly the dumbest type of people.

dude, breath

This video is very bad I didn’t enjoy
