I prefer to wait for an entire season to be released and binge watch it in one or two sittings. Most shows only get 10 episodes these days, and they tend to be highly serialized, so there’s less catching up to do / remembering what happened last.
Only drawback is I have to avoid spoilers and can’t do episode discussions until everyone else has already moved on.
I prefer to watch them at my own pace after the full set is released, I hate the word “binge” though because like, I feel it should be reserved for its traditional usage, IE drinking excessively, which is much more of a problem than watching TV.
TV addiction is a real and harmful thing. We shouldn’t downplay it, particularly since streaming services are known to design their apps using similar principles to social media (which, in turn, was based on casinos).
Yeah which is why I think it’s all the more inappropriate to use it for relatively benign viewership. If I watch a season of Family Guy over the weekend or whatever the hell i wouldn’t call that binge. (sorry I forgot all other shows that exist when writing that sentence)
