Where do you find time....

Where do ya'll find the time to binge watch all these shows? Is everyone here in college and just has endless time? I would love to start watching breaking bad, GOT and a ton of other shows but would never be able to finish them. I work 8-6 then come home and play with my daughter until she goes to bed at 8 and then have about 2 hours with my wife until bed time. Those 2 hours usually are watching shows she wants to watch and my miserablyou playing along.

So you let your wife dictate what you watch. Those 2 hours could be 2 episodes a night. Sounds like you answered your own question.

I can't binge shows. I just physically can't, I would feel like a piece of junk just sitting and looking at a screen for long periods of time unless it's a movie/sports/wrestling/or I'm traveling.
To put it into perspective, it took me almost 6 months to watch Better Call Saul season 2, and I think that's currently the best show on TV.

Weekends? Maybe go to bed later one night? But if you're happy with that schedule (and im not being sarcastic here) then dont change it. Its much better to spend your free time with your loved ones than watching an excessive amount of TV

quit your job and divorce your wife.

Would be my guess.

Nights and weekends
Especially when there's no football

It takes me forever to get through a show too. That's why I like to watch movies. It took about 5 months to get through Tudors. 4 months for Borgia. I am liking the Netflix shows with just 8 episodes. Knocked out Versailles in a couple weeks and almost done with Medici.

I don't have kids. That helps. Otherwise I do stay busy with work and other hobbies and professional development and such. You could see if your wife wants to use some of that time to watch other stuff. That would be the time that most people use to watch this stuff. But if she doesn't want to then I wouldn't make a thing out of it. It's not like TV is all that important anyway.

I do the majority of my binge watching during this time of the year. Probably average 15-20 hours/week of work Thanksgiving through Valentine's Day. I'm laid up after surgery right now, so I can really put together some binge watching for the next month or so.
During busy times of the year, it's nothing to put in an 80 hour work week. I don't binge watch during that time of the year, unless it's a rare Saturday where I'm not doing anything. So during that part of the year my wife watches all of her shows while she's waiting on me to get home, and I can usually piece together 3 or 4 hours per week to catch up on my shows to go along with the one or two shows we watch together.

Cross-post this on the Gaming Board for a few chuckles.

Being married with two small children now, it's very hard to watch the news, much less binge watching shows. I'm off on some Thursdays and Fridays so I can usually binge shows during the winter time when there's nothing else to do. My DVR is loaded with movies and shows right now.
I started rewatching The Sopranos last March and I'm still on the fourth season.
