Binged Black Mirror all wrong for years - found out last week

I always watched Black Mirror one episode a day. Told myself it was to savor it. But last week I realized I was missing so many details. A friend on Reddit mentioned how episodes connect in subtle ways. Stuff like background screens or news clips from other episodes. I went back and rewatched "White Christmas" after "USS Callister." Spotted like 3 references I never caught before. It's a totally different show when you binge the whole thing fast. Anyone else have a show that got better after changing how you watched it?

Used to think marathoning TV shows was a waste, but this actually makes a lot of sense. Might have to try it with a few other series now.

Yeah I was the same way honestly. I always thought watching more than two episodes was just laziness. But then I tried binging The Wire over a weekend and it completely flipped my thinking. You catch so many small details and the story flows way better. Did you have a specific show that changed your mind on it?

@ray_burns you're spot on with The Wire - that show is built for binging with all the layers you catch. Breaking Bad was the one that flipped me, couldn't stop after the first few episodes. What show hooked you the fastest?
