Default Binge watching or taking your time?

Do you prefer to binge watch a series or do you like to take your time with it? Binging would be watching like a whole series in a day or two and taking your time would be an episode or two per night, or watching a series over the space of a few weeks, etc.

I can never binge-watch something. I get bored pretty quickly and after two episodes, I find myself wanting to do something else.

I'm on my phone tbh


Yeah, I'm the same. Watching 5/6 episodes in one sitting would be way too much to take in.

I don't like binge watching good series, as it's an absolute overkill (and I want them to last longer). Unless it's a sitcom and then it doesn't really matter.
I can't understand people who watch an entire series at one. It doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

It depends how many episodes there are. I didn't like Breaking Bad, but I boame that on the fact that I watched like 40 episodes in a week. But I'd defo binge a series of 10 episodes or less in a day or two if it was entertaining.

Depends. I don't purposely binge stuff, I just end up bingeing if I become hooked on it. Especially if there's 10 episodes or less or whatever, then it's just a case of not being able to resist watching the next one.

I very rarely sit watching TV though, I'm always doing something else alongside as I'm so fidgety. Even if it's posting on here or browsing the internet,

I've only ever binged OITNB (I tried to pace myself with it, I really did ), The Walking Dead seasons 1-3, Riverdale (which is awful because how am I meant to wait a whole week to find out the anti-climatic resolve to the GRIPPING cliffhangers when I'm used to waiting 2 minutes?) and Stranger Things (NOT SEASON 2 BC I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BINGE IT SO NO ****ING SPOILERS YOU ****S)

Besides that, i always like to pace myself, or it just gets either too heavy (Breaking Bad) or boring (Fear The Walking Dead/Better Call Saul)

I wasn't going to binge Stranger Things this year until Winona Ryder died at the end of episode 1 so I had to continue.
