    Game of Thrones : Binge or not

    I love Game of thrones, and for the past 2 seasons, i wait for everything to come out, and then watch them all. I really prefer it that way. (I do that with more shows) How do you watch Game of Thrones?

    I watch when they come out, too much of a discussion piece to wait.

    Ah, I know what you are talking about. When Breaking Bad was the fad - I didn't watch it. Like not even interested, from the premise of the series. When after it ended and everyone is like praising it and stuff - I gave it a try - and binge watched it ALL. it was awesome.
    All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

    Binged the first 3 season. Can't do it anymore with all the friends and pretty much everyone talking about it.

    I must be the only one in the world who thinks that Breaking Bad was an uninteresting and boring story. I never got into it and couldn't even finish it, yet all people do is talk it up. Blegh.

    Watch them as they come out, so I can discuss things with friends.

    When it comes out, I get out the big TV, order a pizza and just go full cozy time. Just having one day of huge binge wouldn't be able to measure to having that each week.

    Also, want to discuss it with friends.
    Also, the internet is dark and full of spoilers.

    same as with every other series - binge watch all possible seasons/episodes till you're forced to wait for newest episode

    I prefer to wait for an entire season to come out before I watch it so I can get a continuous, uninterrupted experience from beginning to end. No use in learning about an intriguing plot thread in episode two that I completely forget eight weeks later when it comes back in episode ten I think it came out of nowhere without any foreshadowing.

    I'm finally getting at this point as well. I have no interest in waiting week to week just to get a fraction of a complete story anymore.

    I enjoy what they do on Netflix when on one day they make all episodes available for that season. That's really nice.

    I know a guy who waited for the LOTR trilogy to drop in the special directors cut edition before he watched it which is understandable since the books were established long ago but I can't see doing that for a regular show, rather watch it from the go unless I jump into it late then I'll binge it to catch up.

    I wait for the season to finish, but I don't binge watch it, bit of a waste. But then Im in Germany where it's difficult to get on release.

    I watch em right away. It's too fun to talk about, and the week-long build-up makes the next episode all the more awesome when it finally comes.

    I watch it every week as it airs, because I like to be able to discuss it with my friends and on the internet the next day and not worry about any spoilers or anything. Also I watch it with friends so it makes for a bit of a social thing that I'd have to skip if I was waiting. Realistically I prefer the series that release in one chunk (Netflix/some Amazon Originals) so I don't have to wait but anything I want to chat about or don't want spoilers I'll watch weekly.

    I prefer to binge watch things, but it can be tough with stuff like Game of Thrones, where it becomes a hot topic everywhere, every week, for a day or two.

    I prefer binge watching, but GoT is too much a part of the internet culture and too many of my friends watch it an like to talk about it that for GoT I just watch it as the episodes come out.

    I manage to be GoT media dark, ignoring anything and everything that is on FB, IMDB, any forums, and random websites for the duration I'm not viewing. I usually do this until the 8th or 9th episode has aired, and then I binge. This works pretty well for me, and ignoring all the spoilers out there becomes like a game of hide-and-seek. The biggest threat to this info blackout is my cousin, who bothers me wanting to discuss every detail. I win in the end, and refuse to break, which bugs him to no end.

    There are very few shows I actually NEED to watch as soon as they are released. Game of Thrones is one. The only other one was The Sopranos.

    Any other show I can just watch em whenever.

    Yeah I absolutely agree and know what you mean.

    Alas, some shows I will still watch as soon as a new episode comes out.
