I’ll wait till all the episodes are out

I don’t like it when reviewers get seven episodes of a new series and the regular folk, like me, are stuck with the first episode only. I won’t read their reviews because they’re writing about something that I don’t know anything about and they try to avoid the spoilers and all I can think about is why can’t I see all of the episodes at once.
That’s the effect of Pluribus, which is a highly anticipated show by Vince Gilligan the show runner of better call Saul and breaking bad.

These shows that portion out the episodes in very small bits or throwbacks to the way TV used to work and it’s too controlling. I like the ability to program my entertainment rather than have a program for me. That’s all I can think about when I read their reviews and I think about what comes next. Well, I would like to know and I don’t wanna wait until next Friday.
Another show that got this treatment is Ken Burns upcoming story of the American Revolution. He did a huge press tour and they had all seen the entire series and that’s what they were talking about. It’s so obscene, the first moment I heard that the first reviewer doing the interview had watched the whole damn series I turned it off and I realized I don’t like any of these people. I don’t like the reviewers. I don’t like the people to do the shows. I don’t like the fact that they think there’s a line and they belong on one side and I belong on the other side
