Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

I have a theory that because the first episode is 2 to 2.5 times an episode length, they're releasing the first episode and holding on that for 2 to 3 weeks before releasing the next episode (so the equivalent of having released an episode a week).
Not to go to bat for Netflix, but I actually prefer staggered release somewhat. I don't want to binge watch, actually. And I don't want my refusal to binge watch to be taken as proof a show should be canceled.
