Can we talk about slowing down with shows? I think binging hurts them.

I once watched seasons fast, but I started spacing out episodes. Now I catch more details and the wait makes it exciting.

Totally get spacing episodes out (it does build hype). But honestly, I forget all the little plot points if I wait too long between them.

Spacing them out would be a great plan if my brain didn't have the memory of a goldfish. I watch week to week and still spend the first ten minutes trying to remember who anyone is. It's a whole thing where I have to rewatch the last five minutes of the previous episode just to function. My hype is always mixed with pure confusion.

Have you ever watched those quick recap videos before starting a new episode? I used to think they were just for people who didn't care enough to remember. Then I tried watching a complicated mystery show and kept mixing up all the suspects. @mila_wright hit on something with forgetting details when you wait, but those short recaps fixed that for me. I found a channel that does five-minute summaries, and it all comes flooding back. Now I always watch one, even if I'm trying to space out my viewing.
