I only watch 1 episode at a time. Never binge.
That way, I then have time aftewards to reflect on what happened in that episode and think about the show, theorize about what might happen and just let all the events sink in. That way I'm also much more excited when I watch the next episode.
For example, I recently started watching Shogun, and I've watched 3 episodes so far, even though there are 4 out atm. Because I made it a thing that I watch 1 episode on every friday night. That way the shows I watch also lasts longer ^^
