The debate over watching shows weekly versus saving them all to binge is getting ridiculous

Man, I used to be all about binging everything at once because I hated waiting. But then I tried watching a few shows weekly and realized the anticipation makes the good moments hit way harder. Now I actually get why people prefer the weekly drop, it gives you time to sit with each episode.

Right? I read this article a while back about how binging actually changes how your brain processes storytelling. Like when you cram a whole season in one night, your memory of it gets all jumbled together and you don't remember individual scenes as well. The anticipation thing is real, it makes the payoff way more satisfying when you've been thinking about it all week. Plus I love talking to friends about each episode and theorizing what's coming next. That part gets totally lost when everyone watches at their own pace.
