No, he is totally wrong. Westworld was a buzzy premium show that built an audience BECAUSE of weekly release. It didn't sustain an audience because it went nowhere after the second season (which some, though not me, found too abstract). Weekly release generally benefits a show & builds audience.

Is Jonathan Nolan Right? Did Weekly Releases of 'Westworld' Hurt the Show?

'Westworld' may have needed a binge drop to succeed, but the success of recent shows has shown that there’s no “one size fits all” approach.

The boom in clean energy projects is astounding. Since the passage of the I.R.A. in 2022, incentives provided by the law helped drive roughly $332 billion in new investments in clean energy and transportation technologies.
