The piece argues that Disney+’s decision to drop all eight episodes of Wonder Man at once undermines long-term hype, contrasting with weekly MCU releases like WandaVision that built sustained buzz and audience discussion.
Nielsen’s Dec 15–21, 2025 streaming ratings show Fallout season 2 on Prime Video generating 794 million viewing minutes—the pages note the premiere dropped on Dec 16 as Prime continues its weekly release strategy; season 1 opened with 2.9 billion minutes in 2024, but comparisons aren’t apples-to-apples due to binge-versus-weekly releases. Stranger Things remained No. 1 with 2.38 billion minutes, while Landman (1.61B) and Emily in Paris (831M) also ranked high. Nielsen measures US TV viewing on sets and excludes mobile/computer viewing, and Fallout’s total would likely be higher if Prime released more episodes at once.
The second season of FX's hit comedy series, The Bear, should have been released on a weekly basis instead of all episodes dropping at once. The show's sensational episodes deserved the breathing room and discussion that weekly releases provide, especially considering its growing popularity and critical acclaim. Releasing episodes gradually would have allowed viewers to savor and process the show's emotionally charged moments, dissect the performances, and engage in ongoing conversations. Despite the missed opportunity, The Bear's second season is still receiving high praise and is likely to garner numerous Emmy nominations.
