Can you binge a show in one weekend or is that just a waste?

Last month I stayed up until 3am finishing The Legend of Vox Machina season 2 in two days. I felt so accomplished until I realized I barely remembered half the jokes the next morning. My friend says binging fast ruins the experience because you miss little details. But my other friend says that's how shows are made now, for nonstop watching. Which side do you lean on for a show you really like? Does speed help or hurt your memory of what happened?

Oh man, the "I stayed up until 3am" thing hit me right in the feels. I've done that so many times and then the next day I'm like "wait, what even happened in episode 7?" Yeah you totally miss stuff when you speed through it, but honestly if the show is good I can't help myself.

Wait, do you find yourself rewatching the show later to catch all the stuff you missed, or do you just accept that you blacked out half of it? I ask cause I'm the same way, I'll binge a whole season in one night and then realize I have zero idea what the main character's name is lol. It's like my brain just decides storage is full and starts deleting random memories from those late night marathons.
