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

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.
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
Last series I watched was The Three Body Problem at the recommendation of @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears.
How was it?
I think I will put that on my list to watch in the future.
It is good.
This used to be something my wife and I did regularly, when we used to have free evenings.
Watching on 2x, though, seems insane.
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.
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.
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.
Not really, but it felt like it.
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
I think Netflix does it.
Does it do it anymore?
It might depend on the tv show.
Yes I enjoy watching an entire season of a show over a few evenings.
What do you watch?
There was this great sports one, cycling....Unchained.
That was pretty good!
last binge. slept on.
I will have to see it.
It looks pretty good!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Whats that one about?
I enjoyed Shogun, a good japanese show.
