I just cancelled Netflix a few weeks ago. The only show left that I watched was Better call Saul. I was already annoyed when they changed their shows from releasing all at once to a weekly cycle but since I don't have that much time to watch TV it still worked for me.

However they also create artificial breaks now. When I realized that BCS is interrupted for many weeks before the show resumes I finally quit. I am not paying for watching nothing.

Better Call Saul isn't a Netflix show. It's an AMC commission made by Sony Pictures.

It releases weekly because Netflix get it outside the US at the same time AMC air it on television.

I think Netflix should move to a weekly model for their content but they haven't done this.

Ha thanks for telling me. Now that you say it I even remember that it was AMC. So I was blaming Netflix for the wrong thing.. my bad!

But then there is even less left that I really want from Netflix. This also explains why this show is so much better than the other stuff on Netflix.

BTW if you don't mind me asking.. why would you prefer a weekly model as a consumer? The only reason I can come up with is that people fear to read/hear spoilers from other who are "faster". Is there something else?
