The Pitt’s Recommended Dosage
This dilemma calls for a hybrid solution.
There are several overlapping reasons for this, but anecdotal evidence — in this case, Vulture’s annual roundup of our most popular recaps, which is heavy on the weekly releases — suggests the episode-a-week model may be preferable because it extends the watercooler conversation and offers a longer on-ramp for viewers to pick up on a show. Sure, you’ll get the immediate gratification of hitting “play next” and finding out what happens to Dr. Robby and Dr. Collins’s medical-abortion patient, but the opportunity to dissect and discuss that moment with fellow viewers will have long passed by. While I admire the innovation and audacity of that suggestion, there’s clear precedent for the weekly bingelet model on Max, which used it for previous seasons of The Sex Lives of College Girls, Our Flag Means Death, and Hacks.
