So if we don’t watch something immediately, they consider it a failure? I tend to watch a two-hour movie before starting a miniseries, but that doesn’t make the movie better. I was/am planning to watch Baby Reindeer, but I guess it won’t count towards its ratings.

The impact on streaming is mostly immediate. Remember that they normally upload all the episodes at the same time. It’s not like traditional TV in which audience can grown with each episode. It probably could “return” later, as had happened with some old series, but I guess that’s not that common and it mostly happen with popular or cult TV shows
I think it’s similar with big movies vs indie films. Some movies are designed for an immediate impact (big films) but others are released slowly (a few theaters then more and more each week) so they can gain traction with the hype. Netflix usually doesn’t care too much for slow hype.
One exception could be awards films, for example, they created a lot of hype around TPOTD releasing it at Venice and other festivals so when it was uploaded on Netflix almost three months later it had a lot of hype. It also was helped that it continued being talked for other almost 4 months until the Oscar ceremony. But that usually doesn’t happen with their series.
With Ripley, they also did something weird. They were promoting it for months but then they hidden the reviews until the last minutes. The reception was mostly great but with a good number of haters and no the traditional/normal haters for arty stuff but real critics with seemingly very valid points. Still, I don’t think they were a good reason to do what they did. The great reviews could had been great pr for an arty series. They maybe have a future opportunity if it is nominated to a lot of Emmys but, in general, I think they lost their best shot. The Emmys won’t be here until September! And the campaigns for it are much more low key than the Oscar’s ones.

I watch movies and miniseries witha wide-ranging set of criteria.
If something new (whether it's a movie or a miniseries) comes along when I'm in the middle of a miniseries I'm already watching, I'll probably keep going with the one I've already started (and delay the new one) UNLESS it's one that BC is starring in. Then the BC one (movie or series) takes top priority NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!
If a new (mini)series comes our and they dole it out one episode a week, we wait until it's up entirely (or almost up entirely if it's over 8 episodes).
If it's a movie that I've been looking forward to but we're in the middle of a series we're really enjoying, then we wait until a time that we have extra viewing time (like a rainy day).
And of course all of this is contingent on where the Leafs are in the playoffs! Leafs play-off games take priority for night time viewing.
It's all so complicated.
Right now I haven't watched any of Ripley because because we are in the middle of another series that we are almost finished (and Dan isn't really super enthusiastic about the material - I liked the movie a lot more than he did). We definitely will be watching it but not immediately.
Shame that everything has to be immediate to be counted. Delayed gratification is apparently a thing of the past.

I mostly agree with you, Roverpup - other than hockey or any other sport - ha! I have to decide whether to stop what I’m in the middle of watching to watch something new. Of course, anything with Benedict comes before everything else!
My reason for watching Ripley right away was Andrew Scott - and Italy!
I’m currently making my way through Dexter again. I watched it on Netflix years ago, and I loved it. I guess they took it off eventually and have now brought it back. I’m surprised that it’s in the Top Ten shows, so I’m not the only one watching it. But it’s one of those shows I’ll watch if I don’t have a lot of time to spend watching something. I don’t even watch a whole episode at a time! I pause it and maybe go back later that day - like reading a book. I’m only on S2, so this may take a while!

We just finished the last season of True Detective recently.
It was something we both enjoy thoroughly and eagerly looked forward to seeing.
But we held off watching it until all the episodes were aired because we wanted to see it in a continuous flow ) and it was shown only on a weekly basis.
We also only watched one episode per day (on purpose) so that we could stretch out our enjoyment over eight days.
Obviously that kind of behaviour isn't something that streaming services consider premium "quality".
But then I already have subscribed to this service for years so I'm not someone they "gained" as a new subscriber due to being attracted to "enticing" programs.
Who knows? They may keep track of the longevity factor of a show and then my delayed but loyal viewership may count for something!

True Detective was aired one episode for week so it’s actually the total opposite of Netflix model (even when it was immediately added on Max).
The first episode was a huge success but the consecutive ones were bigger and bigger! It was the old model of a successful series.

They clearly aren’t professional. I mean they forgot Eric in their list of most popular non-released Netflix series based on IMDb numbers even when Eric, by that parameter, should be at least on 5 in that list! But their numbers are the same official Netflix numbers. It’s just that they are comparing them with past titles instead of just the new stuff from teh week and at least they are lying about the old numbers, it’s true that the new titles look very weak (2M vs 10M!) I actually remember I read one mainstream review about this week Netflix numbers and they said that new series indeed had low numbers compared to new movies. Let me search for it! EDITED Here it’s, deadline.com/2024/04/3-body-problem-what-jennifer-did-netflix-viewership-1235887315/By the way, the What’s On Netflix guy is only comparing Ripley and Reindeer with other British limited series released on Thursday and still they did bad! EDiTED I’m seeing that Baby Reindeer is number 3 here! It’s still in its early days and practically without publicity, certainly it didn’t have Ripley pr, so it will be interesting what it can do in the next days just with word of mouth!
