I have to say, binge-watching changed the way I looked at the television medium

Waiting a week for another episode created a huge disconnect for me as a viewer, whereas with the BINGE METHOD, the experience is much more connected and so to is the story. Brings it closer to the film experience, but different and unique in its own way. Can tell much larger stories, and I couldn't really appreciate that until my internet moved out of the stone age, and I discovered the BINGE METHOD.

Depends on the show.

Dexter/GoT type show: binge
Comedy: binge
The Wire/Sopranos type show: weekly

I think there's kind of a correlation between the attention span needed to fully enjoy a show, and it's bingeable rate. I HATE full focus binging but if the show isn't really that deep and you can somewhat multitask when watching it, then binging is incredible. Probably in the minority but I do think there are some shows I'd rather pace myself with.

do you enjoy having sex once a week or having sex when ever you feel like it?

Most of the time I prefer weekly.

I like having some time to digest and think about the show. Also gives me a chance to discuss it with others who I know are watching. I tend to appreciate a show more when I watch it at a slow pace. With some time in between, it allows for more tension and suspense buildup. Also, if I really like a show which I know is ending (like if it's on the very last season), I will purposely leave a lot of time between the episodes to make it feel like the show goes on longer lol. Sucks when a good show ends or gets cancelled.
