I refuse to start watching a show until it's finished. I get to watch the entire series at my own pace (no waiting a week between episodes or years between seasons), I avoid stewing in my opinions and reading public opinion during the hiatus and having that affect my enjoyment of the next season, and I don't have to worry about the abrupt emotional disturbance of a premature cancelation. The only downside is having to avoid spoilers and not being able to join in conversation with others who are actually watching it while it originally airs.

I agree. Other people are referencing how Netflix cancels shows after one season, but that doesn't seem relevant here. We're talking about people who do watch season 1 but not season 2.

Yeah two years for six episodes and I just don't give a shit anymore.

Only for mediocre shows tbh. It took 3 years for Severance S2 and it was highly awaited still. Now after S2 I'm even more excited for S3 and don't care if they take 2 or 3 years as long as the quality stays there.

But I don't remember when Netflix had something I was so excited for.

Wait, I do actually. The Witcher. Super excited, didn't care that they took 2 years... But then S2 was nowhere near as great as S1 and S3 just took a nosedive.

There's a reason S1 was highly memed and the other seasons not.
