>put show on in background >post about it on Facebook and Reddit the whole time >don't miss any plot points since it's one episode after another >wow the whole season-at-once format just makes so much more sense >traditional TV syndication is so dumb
Is there anything more plebeian? Nobody sits down and unironically watches six hour-long episodes back to back
>Nobody sits down and unironically watches six hour-long episodes back to back
e-exactly, f-fucking weirdos.
Jayden Morgan
marathoning one episode at a time like a sane people
Jacob Hernandez
This is all subjective. Some shows are good for watching multiple episodes in a row, others are better to watch episodes spanned out between each other. Seinfeld is a good show to marathon, The Wire is not.
I'm not saying you can't marathon The Wire, I'm saying you should give yourself time to think about the episode.

Jonathan Anderson
Why wouldn't I? It's no different from watching two movies in a row, something that people have done for ages.
Owen Morris
People actually do this. Why do yo uthink "binge watching" would even be a term if they didnt? I remember reading an article from the netflix analytics department (can't find it RN) about how binge watching is statistically significant.
And from personal experience I remember I got into Breaking Bad right before the 4th season started to air, so I basically went to class, slept and watched Breaking Bad for 3 days straight until I was caught up.
David Brown
im on episode 10. fuck u

I've been watching about two episodes at a time, just got through s1. Great shit

Pleb mode: watch episodes non-concurrently, whenever it comes on tv and you happen to catch it
Normie mode: Tune in weekly for new episodes, discussing them with your friends later
Patrician mode: torrent it and watch entire seasons in a day without ever getting out of bed

There is literally nothing better to do when you have a hangover on a rainy sunday.

This is a really dumb thread and I'm looking forward to OP posting it everyday until it becomes a meme.
Thomas Powell

Joshua Morales
..... Sounds like you could have left once he started watching Rescue Me. That was probably him trying to get you to leave user. You may have autism.
Brandon King
Exactly. I mean, people buy box set DVDs, don't they? Does OP seriously think they watch just one episode a night or something?
Christian Diaz
>modern term for something that already existed/was done for ages
annoys me everytime
Ethan Flores
That's different, you tit. If you bought a box set, you've likely seen the show at least once. So it doesn't matter then whether you watch one or 20
Oliver Nelson
ive seen the term 'binge a thon' on tv
James Robinson
I still remember the lifehack my dying grandfather gave to me.
Jordan Jackson
I've bought box sets based on only seeing a couple of episodes, such as House.
Kevin Brown
The only thing better with waiting a week between episodes is the potential discussion you can have. But that only applies to new shows anyway
Noah Cook
"False modesty"??? WTF is that??? Anywayz I was #humblebragging the other day to some friends on twitter...
Colton Barnes
>not watching 12 episodes of DS9 in a row on a rainy day
You're missing out on the max comfy, nigga.
David Sullivan
is there an app for this?
Jordan Parker
It's only acceptable if you're ill or it's raining outside.
Caleb Hughes
Nobody really does that. It's good for podcasts though
Ayden Lopez
I do this for Youtube videos sometimes.
Landon Nguyen
But TV is genuinely an awful format and people are only watching like this now because it is such a more elegant solution for a culture that wants entertainment on demand. People pay for a thousand channels and only watch maybe ten of them, each network has one or two decent shows, the ones that draw in viewers, and tends to do the very thing you're complaining about. FX for example will sometimes play at least six episodes of the Simpsons back to back because they dont have anything else to play. So if I tell myself "I want to watch some TV" do I then want to flip on my favorite channel and watch ten minutes straight of ads before a mediocre series only airing to fill time that I really never gave a shit about in the first place? And if its something actually good why would I want to schedule my day around it's air date when I can just turn on Netflix and its available on demand? I feel like im explaining this to a fucking toddler but if you seriously dont understand why Netflix binge """watching""" is popular, there you go. Its obvious I take more issue with >traditional TV syndication is so dumb Because I genuinely don't see how anyone can sarcastically say this. binge watching would have been done long ago had it been a viable option
Angel Baker
Is "co-op game" a euphemism for gay sex?
Jayden Cooper
>tfw when an entire season of a show is available I watch one episode per day I consume my art slowly and carefully, appreciating every detail, analyzing what I just saw. Bingewatching doesn't allow this, it's almost insulting to the show. Plebs will never know this feel.
Ryan Thomas

Luke White
People have been bingewatching shows longer than Netflix has existed. People were singing the praises of bringewatching all the time through torrenting. Now that Netflix has brought it into the mainstream lil' contrarians get pissy about it.
Here we are again.
Noah Williams
>torrent it Nigger tier
Anthony Rogers
And so what if I am black? Im not going to pay into this racist hellhole it should be free
Juan Gomez
I used to do this way before Netflix tbf.Stuff like The Sopranos, The Wire, The Shield etc, I'd buy the box sets and tear through them in no time.
Parker Allen
Selfie is the worst offender
Aiden Russell
I think it varies by what series it is. Nothing can beat that feeling of watching a good show unfold week by week. Especially if it has a strong element of mystery or suspense. Some of the best times on Cred Forums were when the board were trying to figure out True Detective Season 1 and people started digging up the Lovecraft references before the show had even mentioned them explicitly. That was kind of a mindfuck because it just seemed like a police homicide procedural before that.
Xavier Garcia
The way I do things is objectively superior to the way other people do things. I truly am a smart and successful person and wow those other losers sure are dumb. Hot damn I'm awesome.
Nathaniel Walker
She's right though. Her argument isn't that spending a weekend doing the activity is what makes it childish, it's that the activity itself that is childish. If I spent the entire weekend playing with my rattle, you would call that childish. Well, video games are basically an advance form of rattle(they stimulate you with sight and sound, you can interact with them, etc).
Jackson Clark
WHY CAN'T I BINGE WATCH ANYMORE YOU GUYS!? ALL THESE PEOPLE ON MY FACEBOOK TALKING ABOUT THE WALKING DEAD THAT WAS MY THING THEY'VE TAKEN IT FROM ME
HOW DARE THEY!?!?!??!!??!
Aaron Nelson
>paying for television and films Good goy tier
Liam Sanchez
binge watching is an excellent way of getting through lots of plebeian trash in a short timeframe for instance, I marathoned the first four seasons of breaking bad in the span of 48 hours, all thanks to binge watching and 1.11x speed on mpc :^)
Connor Adams
what the fuck has six hour long episodes?
Oliver Howard
Ken Burns:The War has like 4 hour episodes but im sure the guy meant 6 one hour episodes.
Connor Russell
Marathoning is great since I like to watch 1 or 2 episodes a day and traditional once a week doesn't allow me to do this until towards the end of the season.
Adam Roberts
>"Binge watch"
>it's a 6 episode season
Leo Murphy
>download 'full series' of british tv >get confused and angry cuz there's only 6 episodes and what the fuck is a series anyway
Lincoln Hughes
you can always tell the marathoning plebs by the fact that they never have anything meaningful to contribute to any discussion about a show
Joshua Morgan
I binge watched that show with a fucking vengeance.
Jose Edwards

Seinfeld reruns are something you would watch on tv when nothing else is on and you have nothing to do. I can't imagine watching episode after episode of seinfeld on a computer unless I was stuck in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, seems weird and pointless.
Hunter Nguyen
>It's no different from watching two movies in a row if you dont have a 24 hour grace period so a film can gesticulate in your subconscious you actually have no real interest in film.
Leo Roberts
I never watch most of the DVD box sets I buy.
Kevin Turner
Stimulate you with sight and sound? You mean like a fucking television show?
Nathaniel Watson
Why do you buy them then?
