Showerthought: People are binging Severance wrong and missing the whole point

I keep seeing folks say they watched the whole season in one weekend, but that's a huge mistake. The show is built on slow-burn tension and you need time between episodes to sit with the weirdness, like the scene in episode 3 with the 'waffle party'. Binging it just turns it into background noise. Anyone else find they appreciated it more watching one episode a week?

Totally agree, it's like how we scroll past news articles now instead of reading them. The need to constantly consume just flattens everything into content, even when the experience is meant to be slow and unsettling. You miss the chance to actually wonder about the weird stuff, like what the goats are for.

That bit about flattening everything into content hits hard. We're training our brains to just scan for the point, not to sit with something. So yeah, the weird goats just become a background detail.
