Watching 'Severance' over months was way better than binging it

My friends all raced through it, but letting each episode sink in made the twists hit harder lol. I'm glad I took my time.

My friend texted me after episode 4 with a theory that was already proven wrong in episode 2. That's the price of a six-hour binge session I guess. You're basically paying to have the show's own plot twists spoil themselves for you. Taking a week between episodes lets your brain actually chew on the weird stuff. Who needs suspense when you can have confusion, right?

So when you binge, do you find that the details just blur together? I remember with Westworld, waiting each week let us pick apart every scene, and the big twists actually landed. But if I binged it, I'd probably miss half the clues and the payoff would feel weak. Does that mess with your enjoyment of other shows too?

Binging lets you catch subtle details you'd forget over a week.
