Do you prefer to binge watch a show or to watch it weekly?

One of the biggest questions of our generation... Do you prefer to watch all of a show in a very short period of time or do you prefer to wait for new episodes to come out weekly? Does it depend on the show?

Most importantly... Why?

    Okay, now it does depend what the show is - but if it's one I'm SUPER invested in and I love all the characters then I love it weekly so I can see all the fan theories and opinions etc online and proper dissect each episode. And then the unity and anticipation of everyone waiting for the episode to next come, and people Live posting about it! It's such a fun sense of community that I personally don't think can be beaten!!

    I prefer binge watching - especially when i dont have work or have to rest (physically). Why? Because im inpatient but also brings me comfort if I re-watch tv shows because then its predictable and I prefer that in some shows.
    Im too inpatient to watch them weekly the only ones I watch weekly as Greys Anatomy and Casualty.

    id probably get bored and would lose track of the show after a few weeks if it releases weekly. thats why i prefer to binge watch it.

    i think like what Leyla said - it depends on the show for me. if its a show i know i like or is like binge-material (cringy reality tv i'm looking at you) then i can binge. but most the time i feel i break shows up a bit and watch an episode or two here and there when i'm in the mood to.

    so basically im in the middle 😂

    Yes I absolutely agree @Leyla
    I love the excitement of waiting for the new episode to come out!!
    Although, I also agree with @Lottie5433 if it's a tv show i've seen before and I am rewatching then I do like to have it on demand
