Binge or take it slow when watching a new show?

[Grant]

When you catch a new show on a streamer or maybe on cable, do you tend to binge the show as fast as possible or do you watch it slowly? Slowly as in once a day or once a week even. And binging you maybe blast through the show in one day, a few days or the week. Which method do you tend to do? For cable TV you kinda have to do it the slow pace, but streamers you can binge to your hearts content.

It depends on how good and addictive the show is.
In a way, you could easily end up ruining the whole experience by binge-watching. Then it's over, and you have nothing to look forward to - at least not for awhile. Half the fun is the buildup, you know, marking it on your calendar and waiting for that first episode, especially if it's a continuation or comeback from an old fave that's been off the air and you thought you'd never see it again.
I usually watch 2 and then call it quits.
But if it's on Showtime or a channel where they only release one episode per week, that's better yet. More to look forward to. In an organized fashion.

Now I watch it slow. I had binge watched Money Heist forgoing my sleep too but later I realized that entertainment forsaking my health is not a good idea.

Some years ago, I wouldn't be willing to start watching any TV show until it's completely released. The wait for the next episode kills me so badly and that's why I will wait till they are all out. But now, I can't wait especially when the TV show is very interesting. I will watch it the moment it's out.
