Totally agree, aside from the sheer depressive feeling you get from watching an episode they're so high quality that I feel like you're not going to get as good of an experience binge watching it. But I'm far from a binge watcher, my brother is one and my SO to some extent but I can't watch a 45min-1hr long episode and then want to immediately start another.
- throwanem 10y agoI'd be curious to know how you found Stranger Things, if you've seen it. As a rule I don't binge-watch either, but after watching the first episode of that show, I found myself quite strongly compelled to keep watching until it was done. Having previously had such experiences only with novels, and quite few even of those, I found it very odd that a TV show could manage to produce the same effect.
- wldcordeiro 10y agoFound the first episode really awesome, still haven't watched the second and it's been more than a month. I'm admittedly behind on the times but I've been watching The Sopranos (maybe 1-2 episodes a week) and have made my way to the 4th season now. Stranger Things is on my list of shows to watch though because there's a number of things I really liked about that first episode!
- dexterdog 10y agoThat's a bingeable show because it hooks you with cliffhangers. I don't consider it a great show by any stretch like I do Black Mirror so binging is fine. I watched 3 or 4 episodes and put it down. I'll finish it at some point.
- throwanem 10y agoTrue. I've also been a huge fan of pre-van Stephen King, and the show is so completely pitch-perfect in that regard as to make it uniquely bingeable for me.
