Had to choose between binging The Bear straight through or spacing it out
I tried watching The Bear one episode a night like a normal person, but the anxiety buildup between each one was driving me insane. So I caved and watched the whole first season in one sitting last Saturday. Anybody else find that slow-burn shows hit different when you binge them vs. taking your time?

Yeah I've noticed that with any kind of pressure cooker show, like Succession or even just high stakes sports games, the whole experience flips when you compress it. It turns into this weird marathon of tension instead of letting your brain reset between episodes.

Binge is the only way for shows like that. The tension hits different when it's all one big knot instead of untangling overnight.
