How many of you have binge watched a tv show? I dont do if frequently, but I did watch 3 episodes together of Shogun! It was 2x speed, but still..... What was the last tv show you binge watched? I realize it isnt the healthiest thing to do, but in our busy lives sometimes a 1.5 hr session of tv helps us relax :P
Probably Game Of Thrones tbh. I try to avoid tv shows these days but my wife likes all the hospital dramas, i can't remember the names however. 😄

Some of the hospital dramas are nice.

I think it was either the punisher or daredevil, since netflix used to drop all the eps at once, and I used to go buck wild on it
reply
I think Netflix does it. Does it do it anymore? It might depend on the tv show.
reply
This used to be something my wife and I did regularly, when we used to have free evenings.
Watching on 2x, though, seems insane.
reply
You can watch a lot more in less time. More economical with time haha

It seem psychotic to me, but whatever works for you. :)

they speak so slow

try 1.5, you might like it. makes the tempo quicker.
reply
The highest I'll go 1.1. I still like it to sound like a normal person talking.
I did have to watch all of my advisor's recorded lectures every year, so that I could answer student questions about them, and I watched those at 2x. After hours of listening to him talk at 2x, talking to him in person was a little weird.
reply
Haha He talked a little slow in real life? 1.5x the tempo is a little off, but at 2x it is smoother. I have tried 1.75, thats a bit choppy, too.

He talked a little slow in real life?
Not really, but it felt like it.

I love a good binge. I'll even do a full weekend evening binge when I can afford it. I'm mostly looking to purge whatever is top of mind when I consume media and kind of leave my body/mind if I can.
I think the last like truly unhealthy binge I had was when I found Snowfall.
reply
I will have to give it a try. Usually during a binge, I just want to get through the episodes. I might not be paying attention 100% even. Maybe it is a type of therapy? lol
reply
Last series I watched was The Three Body Problem at the recommendation of @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears.
reply
How was it? I think I will put that on my list to watch in the future.
reply
It is good.

You're right that a few hours a week on TV may relax you. I do watch some comedy shows now and then. I've been a fan of 'Friends' and it has never failed me whenever I needed change my mood.
reply
My friends used to really enjoy that tv show.

Shogun was great! Last show I binged as in watched it all in a span of two days was Alice in Borderland, both seasons.
reply
Whats that one about? I enjoyed Shogun, a good japanese show.
reply
We re-upped our Apple TV since Severance is coming back soon and there were other shows we wanted to check out, and we just binged* Palm Royale* over the weekend. Cheesy schlocky fun. We're probably going to blast through the second season of Loot in a couple of days.
reply
I will have to check these out! Its nice to hear reviews from real people, you dont really know if shows are really good when they first come out.
reply
Yes I enjoy watching an entire season of a show over a few evenings.
reply
What do you watch? There was this great sports one, cycling....Unchained. That was pretty good!
