Hot take: my roommate binged all 8 seasons of a show in 11 days and I'm kind of mad about it
She finished the whole thing before I got through season 2 and now every dinner is her hinting that I'm slow. How do you all deal with someone racing ahead when you're supposed to watch together, do you just give up and go solo?
Consider just letting her have her solo run and starting a different show together instead. Once someone is eight seasons deep in eleven days, their brain is fried and they cannot talk about the story in a normal way anymore anyway. She will want to dump every plot twist on you at dinner, which ruins the show for you no matter how fast you watch. Pick something shorter, maybe six episodes, and agree upfront that neither of you goes past the other.
