Three is my limit, but I more often stop after two, or even one. Not much of a binge watcher.

Yeah I'm on the other end of the spectrum, I drag them out to savor them and only watch 2 at a time max, but the problem with that is if you skip for too long and get distracted with other shows or movies you can fall off. I just realized I did that with Shield, and also a few others.

Smokie was a hit out the park.

I don't have time to keep up with weekly viewing of shows.
I DVR and binge watch most tv shows now just to skip the commercials.

The Netflix shows are designed for you to binge watch them because once you start, it's a guilty pleasure, you have to finish. Makes for an unproductive weekend and late nights.

Not really with binging instead of spreading out. Instead I got viewers remorse with the ending to The OA

I'm surprised they haven't offered an option to view all episodes of an entire season at once or once a week. With an added fee for "all at once". Especially Netflix. Seems like something they would do. Pay an extra $1 and all episodes at once. Or standard cost for intervals.

I really wish I could rewatch Parks and Rec again for the very first time. I flew through it. I loved it so much.



Parks and Rec is in a different league for me. I can rewatch that show every 3-6 months and still not get bored. I still see some things or jokes I didn't catch before.

Other shows I can binge watch and be done with

I regretted going through season 1 of House of Cards so quickly and couldn't wait for more episodes.

In retrospect, I should have kept my mouth shut.

I initially thought this was about pushing through and finishing a show that turned out to be pretty crappy. In that case I'd definitely answer How I Met Your Mother. 


I thought the same. I read it as remorse as to watching it at all, not binge-remorse. (Bojack is great so far. I just started.)

I think the art of the cliffhanger where you're dreading waiting a week, the entire episode, is gone. Definitely makes "tv" shows more like a long movie.

But I find the overdone cliffhanger devices tedious, so it's a good development.

The Night of...

It's on HBO Now and it's compelling and a murder mystery but you can plow through it in two days...It's only 1 season.

It's one of the ultimate - instant access isn't maybe a good thing - because this TV show was one of those ambigious slow burns but you had to see what happened next.
