this says more about the quality of current tv than GOT, honestly. But it's indeed true

Reply to How do you like to watch TV? Binge, Week-to-week, wait until season is over and binge, or wait until series is over and binge? by [deleted]
if forced to, week to week, as a child of the 80s it's not hard to fall back to that habit. But I much prefer binging, usually two or three episodes

Depends on the show. If it's the typical network tv series where only a minor part of each episode follows week to week and you could really watch any episode on its own and out of order.... I'm fine with the week to week. I'm talking things like the Chicago series, CSI, fbi, 30min comedies, etc etc...
Now if it's a series where the entire season is 1 storyline and every episode follows each other... Definitely binge watch. I can't stand the week to week model of these. The one that comes to mind right now is Servant on AppleTV. This needs to be released as a whole, but apple insists on the week to week model and it drives me absolutely insane! I refuse to watch it until the final episode has aired.

Reply to "Shrinking" is making me realize Hollywood fucked up by not putting Harrison Ford in more comedy roles. His dead pan comedic timing is impeccable and hilarious. by Bluest_waters
We don't need another DeNiro which career is f**ked up by the amount of bad comedy flicks. Ford do some good or mediocre, like Morning Glory which is really fun movie.

Reply to I can't finish long TV shows by Hopeful_Extension759
At least you make it that far! I get near the end of even one season shows and unless the plot is still really exciting, I feel like a kid finishing up my broccoli. I'm to finish simply because I made it that far and I'm mildly curious how it ends, but the thrill isn't really there anymore.

Pretty, pretty much. There is a reunion episode in season 7 that is nice for a bit, but meh.

I Currently watch a bit of an episode, pause, do something else, come back, watch a bit, realize I wasn't paying attention, rewind, browse Reddit on my phone, go back again, start doing something else, come back, skip through a boring part. I think I might have developed ADHD

Mando, Ted Lasso, Shadow and Bone, Sanditon, Survivor, Doogie Kalikimeha, and I am intrigued by, but not too hopeful for True Lies.

So looking forward to Severance but I am so worried that it won't be as good as the first season. That final episode had me literally on the edge of my seat.

✔️
I really need to start on "Succession" and "Severance;" they both get such excellent audience and critical raves

Week-to-week, but I grew up in the 80's, so that might just be what I am used to. I think it you get to experience more anticipation that way.

Depends on the show, I binged Breaking Bad in 3 weeks and I adored it, but ask me what happened in certain episodes and I’ll go blank, I obviously remember key moments and small ones aswell, but smaller details don’t stick with me as much,
For better call Saul, I also binged up until season 5 and watched all of season 6 live, and I can tell you absolutely everything about the last 13 episodes of that show, I remember small lines of dialogue, music played, episode titles, everything, it stuck with me more and I had longer to process episodes and mainly deaths, there’s 3 deaths in season 6 which stuck with me more than any TV show I’ve ever seen.
By the time BCS ended I even preferred it to BB, and the week to week release definitely helped that, I enjoyed each episode more, I could theorise, and think about it and process things. But I argue the week to week release only works with “good” shows, the good writing and acting has you thinking more and waiting for the next episode.
An new example of this is the last of us, my friend hasn’t played the games but started watching when episode 3 aired, she hates week to week releases because she hates the wait but she is loving the show and we can have conversations about it and she theorises what will happen next and how much she’s connecting to these characters, in a binge model that’s all gone, the latest episode ended on a massive cliffhanger for those who haven’t played the game and the binge model allows for “Next Episode ” to be pressed in a heartbeat, not giving you time to sit on things.
For comedy’s and lesser shows the binge model works because you can sit down and get through the episodes quickly and is more fun

Reply to Pantheon is fascinating by ryhaltswhiskey
was one of a number of shows that AMC canceled for a tax write off.
> The series has been canceled after one season, despite a two-season order, and pulled from AMC’s streaming service as part of the company’s cost-cutting drive. The second season, which had been produced, will not air.
> Pantheon joins shows such as Demascus, Invitation to a Bonfire and the second seasons of 61st Street and Moonhaven, which were all axed as part of a one-time tax write-down at the end of last year.
it just sucks that the first season was removed from the streaming service making it basically non existent.
