One of my co-workers recently binged the series, which got me to thinking about binge watching, in general.
There's no way this show (and its characters) would mean as much to me if I had spent 6 weeks watching it, rather than 6 years. While I love shows like "Orange Is The New Black" and "Lady Dynamite", I pretty much forget about them a month after I finish. Maybe you can only get that kind of attachment from network tv. For now, anyway.
