Watched a 10 season show in 3 weeks and now I regret speeding through it

I binged The Americans over 21 days flat, staying up until 3am most nights to finish it. The problem is I barely remember details from season 4 because my brain just checked out from exhaustion. Has anyone else ruined a great show by watching too fast?

I started rewatching Breaking Bad after a junk food binge and realized I missed half the character arcs. Now I set a rule: one episode max per day, no exceptions. Also helps to pause and read a discussion thread after each episode, makes it stick better. You might want to go back and rewatch those blurry seasons, slower this time. It's worth it to catch what you skipped the first go around.

Ha, sounds like you needed a TV diet more than a food diet.
