Showerthought: Binge watched a show in 3 days that would've taken 6 months weekly

I started watching Yellowstone on a Sunday afternoon and finished the whole thing by Wednesday night. That's like 5 seasons in one weekend. Paid $16 for a month of Peacock just to do it. Now I'm sitting here wondering if I even remember half of what happened. Bingeing kills the experience for me - I can't even tell you which season had the big ranch fight anymore. Anyone else forget plot details a week after a binge?

Did you catch that article about how our brains basically file binge watched shows as one long memory instead of separate episodes? That explains why I can't remember a single character's name from the season 3 twist I watched last Tuesday. Honestly, it's kind of a relief to know I'm not just getting old and forgetful.

Wait, @anna983, does that mean I can blame my missing sock on binge watching too?
