Post How fast do you watch a TV series?
Do you try and plow through it as fast as possible, or do you take your time?

I watch it as fast as I can, usually. This is probably why I have a lot of unfinished series, because I burn out, but if I try and go slowly I feel like I'll never finish either. So my average rate is about 5 episodes a night when I'm into something. Also I feel like watching everything in short succession gives me a better perspective on it.

I take my time, same with games but this is also because of the time I get to watch them. Certain series I only watch with my gf so we can watch them together, which is fine with me.

I usually finish TV series in one sitting (if said series has 25-35 episodes that are 22 minutes long) but if they have a lot episodes that are over an hour long it may take me several weeks.

I usually watch it as fast as I can. It's rare I find something I'm enthusiastic about so I get obsessive about things like TV series and watch them all at once.

Korean dramas. I often get through those really fast. Odd thing about Korean shows, I watch the first couple of episodes and think that it's pretty shit but at some point I get hooked (damn you cliffhanger endings) and end up watching the whole thing in a few days.

Usually around 4 episodes. If it gets pretty deep then I'll start marathoning episodes.

I'm one of those weirdos who watched series weekly as they come out. I enjoy the anticipation if it's a show I really like.

If it's on dvd or the internet I usually only watch 2-4 episodes a day. My attention wanders after a while.

It's not weird, I do the same thing. I use to watch usually 5 episodes a day of TV shows and any newly aired episodes, but now I focus most of my time on watching anime episodes, so I just watch whatever I have time for. With the recent file host crisis it's been really hard to find TV show episodes, so I've been taking my time with TV since I've been running out of episodes quickly.

Same for me.

As for the few series I actually do have on DVD, it varies from 1-2 and upto about 8 or maybe even 10 a day when I get the DVD, after that I usually only watch one at a time, when I wanna rewatch one particular episode.

I basically just watch things as they air. So if the channel is showing a programme once a week, I'll watch it once a week, if it's on daily I'll watch it daily, ect. I got the dvd boxset of The Sopranos at Christmas, I'd probably watch several episodes a day if I wasn't watching so much other stuff, as it is I'm probably averaging about 3 episodes a week.

Assuming a season is less than 20 or so episodes, I'm likely to finish in a day or less. This is especially true if I'm determined to finish.

Very fast. I need to find another TV show to be interested in, in-between my weekly Fringe and Supernatural episodes. Touch seems promising from watching the pilot. It's hard to shake off the Jack Bauer image though.

Yeah, I know what you mean. When I look at Keifer Sutherland all I see is Jack Bauer. It's hard picturing him doing any other role.
