"We wanted people to appreciate it," says Eric Kripke of the weekly release schedule that faced backlash. “It didn’t come from Amazon,” he tells The Wrap. “It came from the producers. We said we wanted a weekly rollout because, honestly, a lot of it was the feeling of working that hard on something for that many years and then have it be completely disposable after two weeks felt like a bummer. We want people to relish it a little bit. We’ve given up our lives for it. And what’s funny is people forget that bingeing is not good for you. Everyone loves the term. But if you apply it to any other aspect of your life, it’s not a good thing for you. (laughs)."
