This is garbage. I don’t sign up for streaming to watch shows weekly. Let that format die with traditional TV

I think as Disney itself is a family company they want to have families watch the shows on the service they’re excited about together. Make it something to look forward to every week. Somewhat of a throw back to ABC’s TGIF.
Families and especially kids have always been Disney’s target demographic. Always will be too. So I think thats the idea behind this approach.
Does it suck? Sure. For us grown ups it does. But in addition to it being presented as a “family service”. I think they’re also purposely trying to counter the binge culture everyone has embraced from Netflix, Prime Video and sometimes Hulu by doing this. Which is arguably a good thing.
To add to the above counter binge culture thing: As someone who can only really watch shows Monday-Wednesday due to my work schedule I actually really appreciate the slow drip take they’re doing instead of just opening the flood gates. Builds the excitement, calms down spoilers on social media and websites, gives people “water cooler” talk…etc. This also circles back to the family oriented goal the service likely has in mind, as well.
That’s how I look at it anyways.
If this fits with your sensibilities, great. It’s a smart tactic, but most are expecting when a show to drop to have the whole season available. If that’s what keeps the cost low, then par for the course. It does give an opportunity for a show to breathe so it’s not a terrible thing.

I though Euro Disney was a Flop.
I can keep getting an error when I try to redeem. I made it as far as creating an account but it crapped out when I was suppose to give billing info.
