Why are a lot of shows hard to binge?

[Kramer]

Seinfeld is not a show to binge for example. It gets irritating.

Some shows might have a bad plot, some might be too long, boring characters etc. (Though I've never watched Seinfeld)

Seinfeld is literally a show about nothing. It's funny but it's loosely connected to other episodes.

Depends on the show. If they're old, it could be because they were made to only be watched weekly. Some shows are also too formulaic/repetitive to marathon-watch but still good in small doses. Your best bet for binging is anything with continuous stories/arcs. Alternatively, anything that has episodes that constantly end with cliffhangers can also be easier to binge watch since the urge to find out what happens is heavy.

The service you use to watch them also matters. Netflix pretty much has the lock on how to optimize streaming into the next episodes with some shows automatically skipping the intros after you see them once to make it even easier. On top of that shows made for Netflix were designed with binging in mind so they make it easier too. Hope this all helps.

I used to live seinfeld, but also became annoying to me. Sense 8 on Netflix requires a lot of brain power if you have t seen it.

I did that also, twice, but finally became hooked when I understood it.

Does it get better? Because halfway through the first episode i had no idea what was going on. Lol

Peaky Blinders for me also just finished Devs.

It does trust me. Just the first two episodes you are like what the F, but then I became hooked.

Maybe I'll give it another try then. I just couldn't get into it. And I really tried haha I usually love movies and shows like it, so I was very disappointed lol

It's like Netflix sense 8, requires a lot of brain power.
