re: We've Been Watching True Detective Wrong. *UPDATE* Starz to Offer Binge Options.

I don't watch True Detective, yet, but just wanted to chime in on the all-at-once vs weekly debate. I started watching Breaking Bad on NetFlix. I'd burn through a season in about a week or two. Watching the last seasons live sucked. I did the same thing with Walking Dead. I just recently watched Season 5, in about 3-4 days. I would hate watching it weekly. Too much is going on, and stretching it over a pair of 8 weeks of episodes, would have lost something. Even when I had cable and DVR, I would let about 4-5 episodes of a show build up and then my wife and I would pick one to binge watch over the weekend.
I understand the networks like AMC will keep on doing the weekly distribution, but I would hope someone like HBO would be forward thinking and follow the NetFlix model of releasing a whole season at once for streamers. If you are already a subscriber, it is free to stream anyways.
Amazon's original content is like this as well. I have watched about half the first season of Bosch. With NetFlix and Amazon, I like that I don't have to worry about when a show airs. If I want it now, I have it now.

I'm convinced that Pizzolatto has some epic blackmail on Lombardo. No one has the kind of power HBO gives Nic. No one on Netflix, not Weiner, not Gilligan, not David Chase. And Pizzolotto was a total nobody before last year.

I'm actually going to have a chance to binge watch S2 if I want. I stopped about 10 minutes into episode 3, with the plan to binge it if consensus was that it drastically improved. I'll find out in a few weeks.
