Rhythm + Flow, Netflix's first foray into a music competition series, made a splash with its premiere on October 9.

With A-list judges, impressive cameos from rap legends, and heartwarming stories and incredible talent from its contestants, the show is a genuine and impressive dedication to hip-hop culture. Already hooked? We're not surprised.

If you've binged through the show's first four episodes (featuring auditions in L.A., New York, Atlanta, and Chicago) you may be wondering... what now? Because unlike most Netflix shows, you don't get to watch every single episode in one sitting. Below, the breakdown of the season's episodic schedule.

Week 1: Wednesday, October 9

The streaming service premieres the first four episodes, which you've most likely seen. They follow the judges as the travel to their respective hometowns—plus L.A.—and hold preliminary auditions alongside musicians like Fat Joe, Big Boi, and Lupe Fiasco.

Week 2: Wednesday, October 16

For episodes 5 through 7 you'll see the contestants participate in cyphers and rap battles, while also creating music videos to showcase their talent, lyrical prowess, and showmanship.

Week 3: Wednesday, October 23

In the third and final week of the show, for episodes 8 through 10, viewers will catch the contestants offering samples and participating in collaborations with other major artists (Ty Dolla $ign, Jhené Aiko). Eventually you'll get to the finale, where the winner will be crowned and given $250,000, not to mention the opportunity to perform on Spotify's Rap Caviar.

So just be patient. You have three full weeks to enjoy the show in its entirety. Happy streaming!
