"When we see a binge release series like we do on Netflix, we’re seeing demand skyrocket at first for like a week,” said Wade Payson-Denney, insights analyst, Parrot Analytics. He added that Netflix shows like Cobra Kai and The Crowns as examples of shows that have done the opposite. "They really pop up at first but quickly trail off. It’s a quick hit for these streamers. Whereas with weekly release, we see popularity gradually build over time, especially for a show like The Mandalorian and WandaVision." Last week, we caught up with the Darcy and Jimmy from the show - or more accurately Kat Dennings and Randall Park, the actors that play them - to talk about what they thought when they first discovered what WandaVision was about. "When I first got called in [by] Jac Schaeffer, the head writer, we sat in a conference room, and she had the whole show mapped out on the walls." says Randall Park. "I was just so amazed." "'I was like 'What is going on?'" adds Kat Dennings. "This is the craziest thing I have ever seen.'" "But seeing all of the work they put in to it, it all really makes sense," she continued. "Everything you see has a payoff. There's nothing put in purely by accident." "There's a huge payoff that I think people will be really excited for."“There's a lot of online stuff about Darcy and Loki - I think it would be exciting for a few people on Tumblr!” Kat Dennings (@OfficialKat) wants #DarcyLewis to team up with Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, and bring the popular fan-fiction pairing to the MCU. pic.twitter.com/tBxDCGy5o6
