I think the first episode showcasing the holy trinity ie old news had to air as way too time, money and effort went into the production. Same again for the second, I think it's just purely Amazon exercising it's financial muscle. Out the box on the second episode you can tell it's slick with a massive bugdet. Yes we get the point you have millions at your disposal, but they need to get back on track.
Il still watch either way as a prime member, but the show is becoming a bonus to the subscription were as I thought it would have been the, movies, box sets, discounted goods and next day delivery.
