Containing a plethora of movies, TV shows, reality TV, and more, the streaming giant has made life easier for countless cinema buffs.

Scott Pilgrim Takes OffCreator Calls Out Netflix For Its Streaming Practice
In a world where viewers usually have to wait a week to see the next episode of their favorite ongoing series on TV, getting all episodes at once on streaming platforms was a good change for many. Not having to wait in anticipation for a whole week to find out what happens next with their favorite characters is not a favorite pastime of many fans.

“As someone who had his whole season drop all at once at the same time, it’s the dumbest sh-t ever. There’s literally no upside. Imagine if the whole season of X-MEN 97 was out.”
Continuing, the show creator stated how he wanted the anime television series to have a slow release. Rather than having it all being dumped out there in one go, Grabinski wanted the platform to release two episodes every week for four weeks.
