    Such a great time to be alive. You had to watch it in real time. You could VHS record it, but then you miss out, because the next day that’s what everyone at school or work will be talking about. Streaming killed that social aspect of tv shows. Get off my lawn.

      Streaming killed that social aspect of tv shows.

      Actually no, they didn’t, at least not completely for every show. While many times a new show/season gets released all episodes at once, also many shows (like SNW) get released an episode a week (or like Andor, a storytelling arc per week). But they do that apparently to get viewers buy another month of subscription and it’s a rubbish practice (you do actually hear a lot of voices calling for at-once releases).
