It’s water cooler talk and it’s been the basis of television since its creation. Having weekly appointment television is what made every great show a shared cultural phenomenon. It was Netflix who killed this entire idea by having seasons worth of content to binge at all times, but it backfired by making all of their original content meaningless outside of a handful of popular titles. You literally can’t share in the discussion with most people because everyone is on different viewing schedules, only compounded by the sheer amount of shit being released. Thankfully, most of the streaming competitors realized they could capitalize on the novelty of literally going back to the foundation of television and most of them stick to it, training viewers to go back to actually enjoying shows rather than mindlessly consuming them.

Literally never got to talk to anyone about the last season of Stranger Things. There was *always* someone around who hadn't finished it and I eventually just lost interest.
