As you’d probably noticed if you’d created Stranger Things paper chains with dates written on all the links, Halloween falls on a Tuesday this year, and though Netflix does use Tuesdays for certain releases these days, that would not allow for the healthiest of binge-watches for sections of the demographic that are either in school or following traditional work weeks.
Now, a four-day advance on a TV show’s release might not mean as much if we were talking about your average network comedy or drama, but when we’re talking about Netflix, where entire seasons are available at the drop of a remote, it’s everything.
