I disagree. The wait and the suspense it builds and the talking between friends is amazing.
People surging ahead leads to a difficulty in conversation that week-to-week episodes do not.
- azinman2 5y agoDepends on the type of content. Not everything is a nail biter.
- alistairSH 5y agoI watch primarily for my own enjoyment. Binging "dumb" sci-fi or fantasy (Witcher, etc) on a cold Sunday afternoon is the best (well, skiing would be better, but it doesn't snow much in DC).
- bombcar 5y agoThe "talking between friends" works great when it's something everyone is watching, or there's only a few channels available, etc. Once everyone is split into various streaming camps, the talking between friends begins to drop.
- ghaff 5y agoI do find weekly drops for 30 minute comedies sort of annoying but I'm fine with weekly releases of serialized dramas which mean that you can discuss things/read discussions only with other people watching along at the same pace. That said, I mostly don't binge watch and maybe it would bug me more if I did.
- bengale 5y agoI actually find it tends to split groups between those that watch episode drops and those that wait to binge later. Not to mention the spoilers that people drop when they assume someone is watching along.
- 2muchcoffeeman 5y agoI much prefer to binge it’s cheaper and easier to fit into your life. Finished a project and have a break? Turn Netflix back on, binge, cancel. I guess I don’t watch TV to talk about it with friends though.
- watwut 5y agoDisagree. We wait till itnis released all so we don't have stupidly long delay between episodes ... and it means dodging spoilers and debates. Once a week episode is good for episodic content, nit for something with good writing.
