I like being able to binge if I want if the series is short or really suspenseful. For whatever reason (I'm not THAT old), I can't just watch an episode and then come back in a week or two and watch the next - I'll be lost.

So being able to watch more quickly - two or three eps in a night, or one a day - works better for me.

Waiting on the cliffhanger back in the land of tv network shows in the seventies was *excruciating*.

Oh I get that because I can't really sit for a month and just pick up where I left off. It's the same with books, I ended up abandoning so many books when I was younger because I'd put a bookmark in, not read it for 2 weeks and then come back and be like "I have no idea who these people are??" and just end up leaving the bookmark in the exact same place.

If all the episodes are already available, I'm a watching 1-2 a night or every couple of nights kind of girl with dramas. Comedies are a bit different, I can do more episodes in a sitting. For example, I could easily watch 3-4 episodes of Schitt's Creek in one sitting but then I'd stop.

But I just find consuming something quickly tiring in a different way to waiting. Almost like I'm missing something because everything is hitting me all at once. I'm very much glad to not have to wait for a whole mid-season/season finale break anymore but at the same time I just don't have the energy (or time) to watch everything available in one or two days.

Oh, yeah, some stuff is impossible to binge in a really short time. Especially if the story/tone is really dark or 'heavy' - it really is just too exhausting mentally/emotionally to watch that kind of thing all in one go.

I made that mistake with Breaking Bad (I did not see it when it aired originally) and that was definitely a lesson learned toward the end when every episode is like an increasingly heavy gut-punch.

On the other hand I can put something like Futurama or earlier Simpsons on if I'm having a duvet day and it doesn't matter because I've seen it all before anyway. The psychology of what you can and can't handle binge-wise is pretty interesting in its own right really.

It is!

Yeah, same here. I find that if I go too long between episodes, I start to forget what happened in the earlier eps, so I much prefer to be able to either sit down and watch stuff in chunks or do an episode or two per day.

I like watching things on my own timetable so the binge-mode works wonders for me, I can pick and choose when to watch an episode and how many I want to watch in a sitting and I love it.
