Shows You Enjoy But Are Tough To Binge?

I actually came here to say Ray Donovan. I quit watching several times now. I like the series, just hard to push through.

Came here to say "Man in the High Castle."

The first season is dreadful. The ending was not great. Some storylines/characters are boring... But the meat and potatoes of the series was entertaining.

Would be a tough binge due to Season 1.

Black Mirror is a great show but not one I can binge. Just too damn depressing.

Six Feet Under was a good show but no way I could ever binge it. I would be miserable.

Very creative show but some series’ get too far gone it’s hard to follow.

we always had to watch a light hearted funny show after a Black Mirror episode

That was me while watching Hannibal. My go to's to kill the fright from Hannibal were Chuck and Workaholics.

ETA:
Hannibal took me awhile because I quit it a couple of times. The totem pole caused the first, two week, stoppage.

I'm watching The Man in the High Castle right now. I'm very much enjoying it, but I find 1 episode a night is enough.

I think that's how I did it until the last season.

When I first started streaming from Prime, I started it once and quit, because I couldn't tell what was going on. A year later a thread on here inspired me to try it again. I realized I had started watching the first episode from either the third or fourth season. It made sense starting from Season 1 Episode 1.

Here's another thought about recommending how to watch another series. If you haven't seen either the English or American version of Utopia, watch the American version first. If you've already watched the English version, don't bother with the American one, unless they announce more seasons.

I watched the American one first, because I didn't know the English one was also on Prime. They're so much the same story, but the English one is much, much better. I don't know if it just has better actors, or if the little differences just make for a better story. I think I would have quit on the American version, if I had watched the English one first.

Good answer. So much potential but just couldn’t stay focused on what made it intermittently great.

Mandalorian

Mad Men. Absolutely one of my favorite shows of all-time, but I have to let it "sit" between episodes.
