For Star Trek that's due to CBS sticking to a weekly schedule in the US, and Netflix broadcasting it at the same time.

For other shows such as The Expanse that have been broadcast on a network, Netflix have held it back and released it in one go instead.

Have to say I can see pros and cons for each.
