Traditional tv shows can also get buzz by people chatting and theorizing about them week to week as the episodes trickle out. This isn’t really possible with the Netflix binge model.

They can also release faster since episodes trickle out as they are done. Not sure how often this happens vs editing and releasing later.

Whether this type of “buzz” actually is that important from an economic perspective or if it just generates a bunch of noise online and at the water cooler, I don’t know. So far Netflix seems content to drop content using the binge model.
