Only the First 5 episodes

Why are only the first five episodes of The Staircase available to watch? What an absolutely bizarre business model, only showing the first five espidoes of an eight episode series.

 

It's a con, especially when they're advertising it on their front page.

 

You don't get this sort of nonsense with Amazon or Netflix.

 

Membership cancelled.

After watching The Staicase drop one episode on Thursdays, we wait for Bosch;Legacy to drop two episodes on Fridays. On Amazon.

 

So both Netflix, as described above, and Amazon, as described here, do indeed do it.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

However, Amazon don’t take down all the episodes a couple of weeks or so later.
