Dont get why Netflix dont do the weekly release, seems so much better for the show.
People can talk more about it and u dont feel that u are getting 8h movie, but a lot of content over 2 months, with time to digest.
Just look at Mandalorian and House of the Dragon and how people spend weeks talking about it while after 1 week no one cares about the Netflix shows anymore. With the week release they can make a marketing campain for the season finale.
Personally i feel that Netflix dont believe their shows are good enough to hook people for 7 weeks, so they prefer to put everything for people to watch in one go than having people drop it in the third week after they start to realize its not that good.
