Nah; that doesn't bother me at all.
Netflix was able to get the morons and half wits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells up to speed (supposedly) via binge watching the show to be able to watch the ending. Those people generally didn't understand what they were watching. The LAST thing that show is, is a binge show. Does any real fan of the show believe that somebody watching an episode with zero reflection, actually gets what the hell is going on? Come on. There's far too much there; it's like "reading" House of Leaves by skipping the footnotes and the blank or upside down or sideways pages. Come on. That's a pretty apt comparison I think, regarding the nature of the narrative, and all the puzzle pieces that have been cut and stamped into the overall structure. Those pieces have also been crammed and inserted sideways and upside down. And that's fun for lovers of story telling; for the Net Trix crowd, they're oblivious.
The binge watching crowd has about as much understanding of these shows as an Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics graduate has of understanding their run through of Gravity's Rainbow. But they read it really, really fast!
They wouldn't know Caldera from Danny; everything is better without 'em still around. Even better news; the show is wrapping up, and there's zero lemmings jumping on at this point. It's the same niche it was always meant to be for. Regarding watching the show when it's actually on I mean, not the lemmings crowd, who "watch" it a couple years after it was aired.
And I think you could pretty much spell out what happens on the show and they'd be pretty clueless, I mean you could just tell them all about how (spoilers) Lalo ended up, or how (spoilers) Kim and Jimmy ended up, and those fools would be satisfied that it's the ending and not the journey that matters. Yes, I'm basically convinced that the binge watching crowd doesn't even understand what the basic idea is of the Saul show, what it's doing, and how it's doing it. Just tell em that Walter died and spare them the the hours of binging. They treat a real work of art like this as though it's Gilligan's Island. Congratulations Net Trix.
So thanks to Net Trix for my Saul fix. They don't need any of our help though; I understand that just about every weekend on there, they have a trillion dollar opening weekend movie. I understand that 23 billion "sets of eyes" watched the first 30 seconds of the ridiculous Emoji last weekend, so all is right in the world. It means a billion dollar opening weekend (or whenever they put their crap out into the ether).
It's got to have you tied up in knots that Netflix is the reason why this show exists {nm} Jul 19, 09:54
Could you expand on that please? (Am honestly ignorant of the connection.) {nm} Jul 19, 14:27
No one was watching BREAKING BAD on AMC until people found the show on Netflix and VOD {nm} Jul 19, 16:05

_I_ was watching it on AMC! :P If it was so obscure in first run, how did it get five seasons? {nm} Jul 19, 17:47

This was back when they were throwing big wads of money at pretty much everything? {nm} Jul 20, 13:52
They will always throw wads at money at everything. Their content budget is over $15b {nm} Jul 21, 13:18
Nah; that doesn't bother me at all. Jul 20, 00:05
wow {nm} Jul 20, 01:13
That's interesting; Net Trix has done everything in their power, to bring theatrical distribution of motion pictures DOWN. Jul 21, 16:33
That's just so stupid. Net Trix "boycotts" ALL theaters in Southern California, EXCEPT TWO. Net Trix HATES theaters. {nm} Jul 27, 16:09
