Started binging shows with the 10 minute rule and finished 3 seasons in 2 weeks

I kept starting shows but never finishing them, so I tried watching just 10 minutes every night even if I was tired. That small trick got me hooked on Succession in 3 days anyone else use a weird method to actually finish long series?

Three seasons in two weeks sounds less like a helpful method and more like a forced march through a TV show. I'd argue that slow watching, like one episode a week, helps the story actually sink in instead of turning into a blur of plot points. The 10 minute rule just seems like a trick to make you binge without calling it a binge, which probably means you're still watching hours a night on weekends to finish that fast. Sometimes half the fun of a good show is the anticipation, letting cliffhangers marinate for a day or two. Different strokes for different folks I guess, but finishing quickly doesn't equal appreciating the show more.
