Debate: Is binging a show better weekly or all at once? I visited my sister last month and she was watching Yellowjackets one episode a week, while I just finished all of season 2 over a weekend.

She said waiting builds suspense and lets her savor each episode, but I felt like the binger version had way more momentum and I caught details she already forgot. Which side are you on for shows with big mysteries?

Whoa hold up, I gotta push back a little on the "catches details she forgot" thing. That's actually the opposite for me. When you binge the whole thing in one weekend, your brain is basically in a fog by episode 5, and you miss half the small clues because you're just trying to get to the end. The weekly wait forces you to sit with each episode, think about it, and actually remember what happened. I tried binging a mystery show once and by the end I couldn't tell you what happened in episode 2. So your sister might have the right idea for catching those little things.

Oh man, I'm totally on the weekly side for this one! I watched Severance week to week and I swear I caught so many more clues because I had time to read theories and rewatch scenes. Binging Yellowjackets season 1 in two days just made me forget half the weird stuff in the first episodes by the time I got to the finale.

Victor, did you rewatch any episodes during that weekly wait to check those details?
