Netflix PSA:

This will sound stupid (and it is) but if you are savoring a new show dropped on Netflix, if it’s all the same to you, please let the episodes play through right away so the completion is counted in a timeframe that is meaningful to the show’s success.

Well, that does sound ridiculous, but okay.

That's the word in The Sandman fandom at the moment, and Neil Gaiman has affirmed that it's the case. It may be ridiculous, but I tend to believe Neil, as it's his baby.

Seconding that. Entertainment as an industry tends towards ridiculous in too many ways as it is, and this does not surprise.

Yeah Netflix is only counting the first two weeks, Amazon does a month? Or maybe that was Apple.

I HATE binge culture. And streaming services are making me grind my teeth a bit.

(Down to Netflix, and whatever is free on Tubi, plus my one music add, Deezer.)

Neil Gaiman said a month? Which is why I'm binging Sandman for the 4th time in the background as I set up my syllabi and learning management systems for school starting next week . . . .

it sounds ridiculous because it is absolutely fucking ridiculous

idk how to convince Netflix that it is in fact ridiculous…

It is ridiculous and will likely mean there aren't many classics developed that would justify the existence of the Netflix back catalogue.
