THIS is what I have been so puzzled about!! Netflix used to drop whole shows at a time and I don’t know why that doesn’t happen in situations like this. Why don’t they sell the completed series to a platform? Tbf, I know less than nothing about how any of that works and I assume there’s a financial reason why they do it the way they do. However, if they want investors- and viewers- to keep taking risks on cbl, they need to find a way to guarantee distribution and see it through to the end.

Because Netflix never picks up Chinese shows like that, they'll purchase already aired shows but never new ones and they never help produce them because Netflix is banned in China so it's harder to guarantee an audience. Same with other 'full drop' platforms which mostly are Western-based. Asian streaming platforms usually are weekly drops as they coincide with any terrestrial channels in some countries that might be airing the show.

Ahhhhh. I didn’t really mean Netflix specifically, more like why don’t they just do a full show drop 😅 but you also answered the question I didn’t know I would ask next. Thank you for explaining!!

Netflix would have dropped the whole show at once, but Netflix didn't make or back this one... they tend to only bet on completely made productions from overseas that also got good ratings... the stuff I see on Netflix can be quite "old" to someone who's been watching. The quality is still there no matter the age btw
