What do you think?



I think a good show is a good show no matter how you watch it.

I've done both with the same shows before. Say for instance a show will come out and I won't watch the first season or two of it. Then maybe I decide it's a show I want to check out so I'll binge watch the first seasons I missed and then after I'm caught up I'll watch the new seasons weekly as they air. If it's a good show I enjoyed it either way.

I agree, although I understand the OP's point about something lost in the anticipation. I've had a hybrid experience with The Shield and Breaking Bad - I binge watched to catch up (and how wonderful at time to live in to give me that option) - then finished both series in real time - while the HBO series The Wire and The Sopranos, I binge watched, sometimes 5 episodes at a clip.

Binge watching is more like reading a novel, while watching it week over week, season over season is a more pure television experience, but a good show is a good, show, period.
