I feel like in this cycle of growth and competition among show and movie producers and distributors, nobody's paying attention to the rise of the binge watching habit.
I was really never a fan of binge watching things, mainly because I feel like I never have time to sit on important events unraveling or plot twists happening. I like to let things sink in and for my mind to race about them, so the story matures in my head, and that way I become more attached to what I'm watching and enjoy it more in the long term.
But if i sit down for a marathon of so many new shows and movies, I don't feel like I've enjoyed any of them, let alone kept up with what's happening or remembered what I watched for all this time. It feels like the equivalent of eating too much candy, it hurts and you don't even enjoy the candy.
I think the best solution would be to have releases be episodic, but have episodes be longer or release more than one at a time. I'd say two hours a week is the sweet spot.

Yeah, I hate when shows just milk it. I like the Flash on CW, but man they milk it. They literally had 3 filler episodes in a row them took a month break.

True. I think the best solution would be for people to learn that binge watching isn't good for them, and to learn not to do it. Of course, it's not good to offer the potential for binge watching,...

I’m enjoying Westworld too but I think I might enjoy it more if I could binge the whole season in a short period of time. I feel like this show in particular is too twisty and convoluted for me to keep track of everything in my head, with a week between episodes. It was bad enough waiting two years or however long it took for season 2.
I think this show, and an increasing number of others, are actually being written for the bingers. These are storylines that are designed for successive/repeat viewings, something that is a relatively new phenomenon in the TV world.

a rewatch is usually required after the end of a season.
