Consensus seems to be disliking this change, but curious if there are other perspectives

I don't mind the fewer episodes, assuming the story still works.

As for waiting, I don't wanna to wait, but I'd rather have higher quality content, so I'll wait if I have to.

However the split seasons are the most annoying.

As an example, Invincible. Season 1 came out, I think 10 episodes, one a week, great. Then season 2 was 5 episodes in the fall. Then a break for a few months, then 5 more episodes. That wasn't great. The show had already taken ~2 years between season 1 & 2, then to just get part of a season, then a few months away, then the rest. That sucked.
