I'm having another "kids these days" moment and I don't like it.

Browsing commentary at #Murderbot reddit and etc, where one persistent complaint consistently baffles me.

When I was growing up, EVERY show "dropped" in once-weekly 22(ish)-minute increments. Sitcoms, action-adventure, sci-fi, didn't matter. 22 minutes, then a cliffhanger or a laugh track, then a week's wait for more.

Look, at least with #MurderbotTV we don't get commercials every five minutes, OK?

@NicoleJLeBoeuf We got spoiled by being able to stream a whole season at once.

@NicoleJLeBoeuf I like that this forces the writers not to pad out the episodes like if they were 45 minutes long #murderbot
