What do you prefer?
NETFLIX dropping an entire season at a time, so you can binge it all at once when you want?
Or Disney+ and HBO Max doing one episode a week?

Depends on the series and how it's told.
For continuous or heavy story arc shows, I'd probably binge.
For more stand alone shows, one episode a week is preferable.

I'd prefer binging if possible... I sometimes forget what happened week to week. It can be a bummer with the long breaks between filming episodes etc.
I've binged "American horror story" and other shows on Prime etc.

It doesn't matter to me. Just as long as I am able to see it at all.
God bless you always!!!

Although there are many serialized shows I enjoyed watching from week to week. Sometimes if there is a lot of digest I prefer to take a week to week approach. For example, Game of Thrones. I loved watching that show unfold from week to week. That being said, when it comes to streaming I think I prefer when they drop a whole season at once. It allows you to watch at your own pace, which I feel like is a major selling point of streaming services.

I'd say it's a completely different experience. Week to week has one problem which is that bad episodes become far more noticeable while when you're binge watching, they don't cause the same impact.
I remember that I watched the first four seasons of HIMYM in a row and after started watching week to week and I'm still convinced that if I had watched all 9 seasons instead of waiting for each episode, I would probably enjoy it more.

Only the stupid "binge" things. It means taking it all in faster than you can enjoy it and getting sick from it.
The illiterate who vaguely guess at the meaning of words think it only means watching something as fast as they want.
I like to savour things I like, get the most out of them. Left on my own with a complete series, I would seldom watch more than an episode a day provided it has some substance. And if it doesn't, I won't bother watching it in the first place. If it is complex, I'll watch each episode twice before I move on or I'll pause after a few, usually three or four, and rewatch the whole block.
My favourite thing, however, is to discuss a complex story with other viewers as it unfolds. A weekly pace is a little slow but the talk is half the fun.

You are so adorable, trying to insult people with name calling on the internet.

The last show, I binge watched, were Frasier the entire series, back in winter of 2012, and while I was quite hooked onto the show, no doubt about that, the fun and great seasons, sadly would soon almost get overshadowed, by the much weaker and at times, very bad later seasons/episodes.
When I decided to go through the entire show, once more, back in fall of 2015. I decided to watch 1-5 episodes in the week days, instead of 3-5 a day, all week, as it felt more natural to me, and the "sudden" jump, from when the show hit its peak, then began moving into mediocrity and then just got real bad, were cut too short, and for me, I went from rating Frasier the series, with a good but disappointing 6/10 in 2012, and then upwards to a solid, and more worthy 8/10 in 2015.
The same happened, when I binge watched Twin Peaks around spring/early summer of 2012. Ended up loving the first season, and would easily have handed it a 10/10, then arrived the more uneven and far too long season 2, and with so little time of going from season 1 and 2, I felt it hurted how I saw the show, and began grewing very tired of it.
Have plans on re-watching the entire show (including the last third season), but will not watch all within just a few weeks of time, but one episode at time.

I've binge-watched my share of TV shows, but I try not to do that anymore. Even if all episodes are available, I prefer to watch one or at most two episodes a day. I find that if I watch more than that, it all starts to blend in together and pretty soon I start forgetting details.

On the rare occasions when I do watch TV series somewhere in between.
Once a week is too long a gap, particularly for shows with a strong continuous narrative. I don't like watching a whole season in a couple of days though.
1-3 episodes every day or two works for me.

I kept putting off watching The Falcon and the Winter Soldier On Disney + so I decided to wait till it was all available and watched it in one day. You definitely get more immersed and keep track of things better watching it without a week in between.

I prefer an entire season being put out. There's no need to have once a week episodes with streaming services.
