Informal Poll: Do you prefer to watch episodes as they're released or binge watch them all after the last episode drops? (startrek.website)

I prefer to wait for an entire season to be released and binge watch it in one or two sittings. Most shows only get 10 episodes these days, and they tend to be highly serialized, so there's less catching up to do / remembering what happened last.

Only drawback is I have to avoid spoilers and can't do episode discussions until everyone else has already moved on.

Yeah that's the big problem with binge style watching with full season releases. It really kills the community and discussion aspect of TV. Otherwise having control of how much to watch & when is great.
