Hit episode 50 of The Office for the third time this month

Got stuck in a rabbit hole last Tuesday. Started season 2 at midnight and didn't stop until 4 AM. Realized I had watched 50 episodes in just 5 days. That's like 20 hours of Michael Scott screaming at people. My wife caught me giggling alone at 2 AM with a bowl of cereal. She just shook her head and went back to bed. Anyone else lose count of how many times they've rewatched a show?

I think Ozark is way better than Breaking Bad, and here is why I stand by that

I finished Ozark in about 12 days last month and tried Breaking Bad right after. Breaking Bad is a good show, but I found myself wanting to fast forward through the slow parts around season 3. Ozark kept a tighter pace for me across all 4 seasons. The Byrde family felt more real to me than the White family, like people who actually had to scramble for every win. Breaking Bad had those big cinematic moments, but Ozark had a constant tension that kept me glued. Has anyone else felt this way, or am I alone on this island?

Debate: Was it the show or the setting that made it bingeable?

I always thought a good show was all about the story, but after binging The Night Of at a friend's cabin in the mountains last fall, I couldn't stop watching. The quiet isolation made every twist feel heavier, like we were stuck in that murder case with the main character. Do you think the place you watch a show changes how you see it, or is it just the writing?
