But if you don’t like weekly drop, you can just wait a couple months and binge once it’s complete. |

For a short season, 8-10 weeks, weekly drops are fine IMO. I still prefer when the first ~3 episodes drop all at once though. Think that would have helped here for those of us that do not look back fondly on Dick Van Dyke, Brady Brunch, etc.

I don't mind the weekly schedule, I just don't get why they still follow the Netflix model of dropping everything at midnight pacific time. Enough people stay up and watch it that the spoilers are everywhere Friday morning anyway, why not put it up at 11 eastern/8 pacific?

Yeah, every release date and time is arbitrary.
Midnight, why not 8pm? 8pm, why not noon, some people like to watch TV at noon. . . . Friday, why not Thursday? It comes out when it comes out. |

Yes, obviously the release time is arbitrary, but it doesn't have to be arbitrary and inconvenient. I mean, every week giant spoilers are trending on Twitter almost immediately. I've actually been able to avoid most of it for WandaVision, but I've been careful since I had the Mandalorian finale spoiled for me by Twitter.
I get the server thing, but there has to be a better way to do it. |

I get that you find it inconvenient but I’m routinely up at midnight, as are tens of millions on the West Coast and even East Coast, not to mention Hawaii. And since the programs are dropped at 12am PST, people in other countries are accessing them across the globe at that simultaneously, despite whatever local time episodes begin airing. Staggered air times would lead to more spoilers for people in other countries, which is definitely not the solution, either, so I wouldn’t expect changes to the Disney+ release time. |

Yeah I get it both ways. I do like to binge watch shows, but it’s also nice having the anticipation of the next episode.

Can’t wait.
The best part is Falcon and the Winter Soldier is right around the corner too. |
