What TV/Streaming Shows Are Better Binged? Which Are Better Weekly?

[Reynard]

Upon catching up to A Knight of Seven kingdom with Episode 5, I am angry at myself for not waiting until all the episodes were out. This show is definitely better as a binge. it feels like a long movie, rather than a series.

This got me wondering what shows people felt were better binged versus weekly watch?
For Example, Lost was a great weekly show because there was a constant conversation around it. That conversation would have been both muddled and muted had the show dropped a season at a time.

So, what do you think? What shows are better in a whole drop, versus better episode by episode? Why?

Pretty much all Korean dramas are better as a binge. That’s a massive generalisation but most of the ones on Netflix (for instance) are written with complex plots with a lot of cliffhangers, and so benefit from being watched close together rather than once a week while you try to remember who that guy was and why he’s doing this now.

More sedate shows like Ted Lasso are probably better watched regularly.
