> Streaming and especially season drops flip that constraint.

How does completely dropping a season flip that? Some shows with complicated licensing and rights have caused entire seasons to be dropped from a given streaming service and it’s very confusing when you finish season N and go right into season N+2.

When I say drop, I am referring to releasing in one big drop, not dropping off the platform.

As I explained, that model can permit a binge of content which grants heavy context carryover.

I hadn’t realized the meaning of the word “drop” changed completely, hence my confusion.

Except when, for some reasons, the recent trend is to release an episode per week even though they have all of them filmed and could just drop a whole season.

As a binge watcher, this irks me to no end; I usually end up delaying watching episode 1 until everything is released, and in the process forget about the show for half a year or something, at which point there's hardly any conversation happening about it anymore.
