There is also a difference between watching 2-5 episodes a day and watching a whole season in one day.

Well, I currently do not have what most people would call "a life." I always did watch too much TV but it only has gotten worse in the last ten years or so. When the pandemic hit, I was home for fourteen months, what a great chance to catch up on my TV binging, and it was. Got another job in June of last year, not my dream job, but the biggest perk of being a night-watchman during a graveyard shift is being allowed to watch movies or TV to my heart's content, and not much else. It helps keep me awake in the wee hours,and I have been crossing stuff off my list like crazy ever since. I was watching (and rewatching) a lot of movies, until I decided to download a bunch of shows and finally finish them at work. Finished three this week alone. My sleep schedule is all out of whack, however.  |

There is not much left that can be done for this over-saturation of TV shows.

I had not watched Downtown Abbey but by the start of season four there was so much chatter about how great it was that I gave in and binge watched Seasons 1 and 2 AND 3 .... only 25 episodes but at 3-4 per day for a week caught up and tho' pretty sick of those people and their problems by then, stuck it out for the rest of the series just to see what would happen and to know what the chatter was about. It's so beautifully done and the dialogue is so well written that these annoying people became tolerable .... once a week ...not every day for several hours !  |

I was caught up by the popularity of the show (I love a good period show) and bought the show unseen
as it came out . It apparently is based on a true story , and sometime back , many years ago I got a
news link , about one of the real daughters , spending her final years on a government housing estate .
These are estates that have between 100-300 small brick homes for low income families . The modern ones
are normally high rises that are overcrowded and suffer from fire problems . Jennifer Rowling , a famous
British authoress lived on one of these estates as a single mother and in desperation wrote her greatest
works there .

Where the fuck do people find time to watch streamers? Pewdiepie, Ninja & various others.

It’s all about how you organise your time (and living room).  |

Many of the parks around Greater London used to be the grounds of stately homes so people from council housing can now freely walk over land once forbidden (unless they were part of the workforce). Apart from the royal palaces I have to travel right across Greater London (east to west) if I want to gawk at a huge house with a huge garden.

It's easy if you put your mind to it.

It seems loads of people have time to not just keep up with every major TV show on air/streaming right now but rewatch stuff as well. Have read comments from people who say they have m just rewatched The Office or Buffy. Aren’t these shows 100 episodes plus? Do people just spend all their free time binging TV shows? Sure why not? On a good weekend, I can binge an entire half season or full season depending on the length. But normally, I just do one or two episodes per day. If I ever say I just rewatched Buffy, I don't mean I did it over a day or two. It was weeks if not months.

I remember watching the entire first season of What We Do in the Shadows in one day. Also, all of Weeds season one on a Sunday afternoon. These shows are both thirty minutes long so that helps.
