I watched Stranger Things in a day last week. 8 hour binge. It was a work day unfortunately, the next day was rough.

No. I was working from home and had it on in the background while I was doing a long boring job that required no thought.

Best show ever!

I agree

My roomate did something similar but with Sopranos. Mfer literally sat there waiting for software or some computer issue to arise at the bank he worked for. Even when a problem did arise, all he had to do was get IT on the line and direct them to the affected area.

I remember in high school I watched about 100 episode of Naruto in like a week over school holidays. At that point I was just playing basketball and lounging around though, so not much else to do.

I thought the later seasons had a much more defined main/season plot, but it also lacked well... Smallville

I categorize the series in 3 main groups

Season 1 - Season 4.. When Smallville was at its original.. Sophomore to Senior year in high school.. Everything revolved around and happened in Smallville

Season 5 - Season 7... Transition period. He stays in college for one semester than Jonno Kent dies and he drops out, stays in smallville.. Doesn't truly leave until season 8 wherein he gets a job at the Daily Planet

Season 8 - Season 10... Everything is pretty much Metropolis based

I think the later seasons (8-10) went big with villains and main season arcs.. But it missed that mystery element that made the earlier seasons intriguing.. It also lacked so many of the original characters

Honestly I'm not sure.. No matter what season, the show has always had a freak of the week element to it... It was a given, because that's really the nature of TV shows with 20+ episodes in one given season.. So I take it for what it is...

By the later seasons, pretty much everyone knew Clark's "secret", and really that was such a main driving point in the series... I liked the villains they introduced (Doomsday/Zod/Darkseid), and felt they had a more defined season plot.. But I don't feel that was enough to overcome the loss of many of the original characters and the lack of mystery about not only Clark, but his heritage

Really it's hard for any show to stretch out to many seasons let alone 10. I think the later seasons were still good enough

I watched a whole season of Scrubs in 2 days, but mostly because I played it as background noise.

Actually watching a show to watch it? I finished The Wire start to finish in 3 or 3.5 weeks. I don't think I've ever binged harder than that.

Went through at least four seasons of the sopranos in a week. Breaking Bad seasons 2 - 5 in similar time. So much time I had back then. I kind of miss it.

Most recently I watched Stranger Things in one night. I watched the first 3 episodes with my wife and I wanted to finish it, so I did all 8 that night.

My biggest binge was Six Feet Under. I watched 19 episodes in a row.

The walking dead.

Had a month off inbetween jobs this spring and watched all six seasons in two or three weeks. To this day I don't know why they put so much effort into finding sophia in the 2nd season. Should've just moved on and let her die.

Oh right so the office is only 20 minutes an episode

Well that makes me the undisputed binge king

YIKES

Unless someone can top watching 10 seasons of Smallville that consist of 22 episodes a season and roughly around 42 minutes an episode in exactly 3 weeks and 1 day

That makes you a loser to be honest.

The Wire? The Office? Those are GOAT level shows...but 10 seasons of pure garbage? Don't ever brag about that again.

Thanks for your interest in my story Highwhey!

I'm just glad I kept my youtube channels, blogs, pages and niche websites active during the period. I believe I was still pulling in 800 AUSD (australian dollars) a day from affiliate/ad revenue/product sales on average during that period.. Add in overhead costs and I'm still left with quite a decent amount

Pretty good shit wouldn't you say? Passive income ftw.. Trust me. Better than climbing the corporate ladder. I can work barely 1 hour a day (as evident by my binge watch) and earn as much as the average middle class college degree individual, or much much more if so my heart desires.. If you're interested in this path the best place to start is to start reading some books and learn the basics on programming, specifically website creation, marketing skills like copywriting/online specification, and join some like minded communities to get you focused and connected

But only if you want to.. The hardest part is the beginning.. Starting. But as soon as you get the ball rolling, it starts moving like clockwork.. Controllable, in your hands. I don't know about you but I prefer this over the probabilities of whether you'll get a raise, or if you might get fired.
