#bingwatching

Over the last near decade, I actually worked out a system.

First, two episodes each from two shows a day over a four hour block from 6pm to 9pm. Usually, I try to match them up in terms of episode count when they have twenty plus minute run times. In case of odd number counts, a day or two will run from 5:15pm to 9pm.

In between two of these pairings, I have one live action series such as Black Mirror or Lupin that take up forty minutes to a full hour between 7pm and 8pm.

After what I consider a quarter, I commit myself to a long running TV series. Usually an Anime such as Dragon Ball or Fairy Tail which I can divide across four parts.

I have each one divided into three episodes per day so I not only have a set time for it but also a reasonable pace that will let each episode sit for me across each day. I start at 6:30pm and break for thirty minute intermissions.

I feel like this has been a good compromise between binging and weekly viewings. When viewing Broadchurch, the anticipating for Season Two’s final episodes had me on pins and needles. God, that was such an experience...

The lockdown in India has been extended up to May 3rd! So I decided it was about time to come up with a list of activities to deal with the lockdown blues. I’ve spend nearly 23 days trying out a few of these activities. So I know that they work! 😀
