          Some shows are online before it’s even done airing because people have cracked the streaming platform and can download directly as soon as it drops. Hour long show that premieres at 9pm? If it’s popular, it’ll be online by 9:15.

            Yea but usually sometimes things like that are low quality, in the wrong language, or sometimes have other issues with them or are even fake/malware. Best to give it a few hours at least before allowing releases to be downloaded.

              Very true. All my shit’s automated these days anyway, but I remember back when Mr. Robot was still on air, I’d always be checking the torrent sites starting about 10 min after the episode dropped and I very rarely had to actually wait a full hour for it to appear. Fun times, and a very fitting show.

          Same day if even kinda slack. Typically hits within an hour of airing, it’s like a better dvr
