Consensus seems to be disliking this change, but curious if there are other perspectives

I don't necessarily care about fewer episodes if the story is still good, but the long waits mean I've hit the point where I generally won't bother to watch something until it's over. I don't feel like investing myself if I don't know when/if the next part is coming, so now I wait until every season is out to start watching.

It's like being a patient gamer! If you can wait long enough, you can get what you want at a cheaper price, with all the DLC season add ons!

That's also me. I basically never pay full price - I put games on my wishlist knowing I probably won't even look at them again for a couple of years.
