Marvel Studio's Daredevil Netflix Series Being Made To Be Binge-Friendly

Quesada spoke on many topics during the interview, but perhaps the most interesting was the way in which he described how Marvel and showrunner Drew Goddard are looking at the program as a whole. They have been very mindful of the fact that many fans are going to want to binge watch all 13 episodes of Daredevil in one sitting, and the way the episodes are structured feeds into that. Said the CCO,
"One of the advantages is really from the planning stage -- obviously it's much easier to work with a smaller number of episodes than it is with a larger number of episodes. We can sit there and look at 13 episodes and plan it out as a very large movie. It makes seeing the bigger picture a little bit easier. You can't deny that there will be binge-viewing. You know that there are going to be some Marvel fans that when this show premieres, they are going to go on to Netflix, and they are going to sit there for 12 to 13-plus hours, and watch the entire thing all the way through... Even the way that you parse out information and reveals within the show can be different than you would on weekly TV. With weekly TV, you sit there and go, "The audience may not want to wait two or three weeks to get this particular bit of information." Whereas with Netflix, we might be able to hold onto a particular piece of information, because they may just watch it two hours later."
