You miss out on the speculation, rumors, theories, and anticipation.
The only one worth anything is the anticipation, but let's be honest. How many people are really binge-watching a series that quickly? Breaking bad is 5 seasons of 13 episodes (plus three more in season 5). 45 minutes each.
That's 3060 minutes or 51 hours of television to watch. Sure, you can watch numerous episodes in a row, but I guarantee there's multiple days where a viewer can feel the anticipation of finding out what happens in the next 3 or 4 episodes they'll watch when they get home from work.

I'm weird, for a show I really like, I'll only watch the episodes on a movie/scotch/cigar night, which is 1-3 nights a week. So I'm limited by that time-wise. I'll rarely watch them on TV even though I have the channels. I want to savor them.
