I used to watch shows one episode a week, now I wait for the whole season

For years, I watched shows as they aired on TV, like everyone else. I'd see an episode of something on Wednesday night and have to wait a full week for the next one. It drove me nuts, especially with cliffhangers. About three years ago, I started waiting until a full season of a show was out before I even started it. The first show I did this with was 'The Witcher' on Netflix. Now I can watch at my own pace, usually two episodes a night, and the story feels way more connected. Does anyone else do this, or do you still like the weekly wait?

Totally switched to your method after a show got spoiled online between episodes. Now I make a list of shows that look good and just ignore them until the whole season drops. It takes some patience at first, but having all the episodes ready to go is so much better. I can actually remember character names and plot details this way.

Oh man, the weekly wait is actual torture. I tried it with that Star Wars show and forgot half the plot between episodes. Now I just let them pile up like laundry and binge the whole thing in a weekend. It’s the only way my brain can keep the story straight.

Come on, it's just TV. You can always rewind if you forget something. Making it sound like a homework assignment is a bit much.
