It depends on definition of “binge watch”. For instance, Do you mean watching a few episodes (3 or 4 say) of a show as opposed to putting up the black out shades and sitting for 12 hours at a time in your PJs…?
Last time I binge watched anything was when I checked out Rick & Morty. Blew through Season 1 in a couple days, and then watched Season 2 as it came out.
I don’t actually have a TV or a Netflix account, or anything like that. I prefer to watch on my computer. There’s a dot-com I like where you can watch a cartoon, online.
(That said, once the new season of MST3k drops, I’ll probably give in and get a Netflix account.)
@sanspoint Sorry, didn’t make the connection until I googled it and found that the “a” “,” and spaces were extra. (initially thought the whole italic phase was a link, but alas, it wasn’t!)
I “binge” any show I really love that has a new season come out, like the Flash or Shokugeki no Soma. Otherwise I change what I’m watching after each episode.
Catching up on TWD.
I started in on The Flash and finished out season 1 just to get the story arc, but it was more a test of endurance; I saw a review that said season 2 was pretty much a repeat of the first, so thankfully I have no temptation to watch it further. That being said, Mark Hamill’s performance as The Trickster was a diamond atop the turd. I recommend watching only his scenes. Now I have to go back and re-watch all his appearances as The Joker.
I just don’t have the mindset to binge-watch and I get burned out if I try it. Two episodes of a show, 3 tops, is as much I can do in one sitting. For network shows, I watch them the “old fashioned way” (I might DVR them, but I will watch it within a few days and still only one episode a week). For a Netflix series, I pretty much will limit myself to 2-3 episodes a week, even if it is something I really like.
I binge-don’t-watch, sometimes for years at a time.

@chienfou I think if we define we should do it in hours. 4 22 minute episodes is much different than 4 58 minute episodes.
@caffeine_dude
that’s true, though a 58 minute episode would now imply a 90 minute “commercial” TV show!
I can’t stop. It’s a sad addiction. I even binge crappy shows. I need help.
@simplersimon Hi, my name is Tracie and I am a TV and binge watching addict.
@mehbee Hi Tracie.
YouTube counts as binge watching, right?
If not… Then not that often.
Several times a year. The TiVo can only hold so many shows before it starts auto deleting.
I think “times per calendar measure” is the wrong unit.
If I binge two times in a week for 30 hours each versus only three hours each time, is that really equivalent?
It’s not how often you drink. It’s how much you drink… that… often… Or something.
@stinks
yeah, that’s right…I think…maybe, And remember: AA is for quitters!

@chienfou I can neither confirm nor deny your statement.
@sanspoint ah… I see…
