Even if Netflix produced more episodes at a faster rate, they could never keep up with people eye guzzling 4-5 episodes per day. Tbh, I miss when TV was an event. When you planned for an episode of your favorite show, or movie night, or a TV special.

None of us would want to give up the comforts we're now used to, but I do feel like life was better before everything became so instantly accessible. Not to make this conversation super deep.

This is the wrong. Network Programming is a schedule. 

Say you wanted to watch the now Cancelled CB Show "Arrow" this was a 20+ weekly episode season that always came out late November and played through Feburary with a couple week break in January. It was clockwork for almost a decade.

Netflix on the other hand might release every episode of a of a show at once but you could wait a year, 18 months, 2 years, or even 3 years before the next season comes out. 


The OP is complaining not about having to watch 1 episode a week but how long it takes before Netflix produces the next season which is completely random.
