Saoirse responded: '"Obviously, we'd love to get that trajectory of Netflix and all the rest of it.'

'It would be great for people to be able to watch it all in the one go because it is one of those things that happened so fast. It would be great to watch it consecutively but we'll have to wait and see.'
