Stranger Things season 3 came out last Thursday, and if you're a person who's at all interested in the series, you probably spent the weekend rushing through eight-ish hours of TV to get to the end before being spoiled.

Don't get me wrong: it was a great season, and I didn't entirely mind sitting in front of a TV for that long. But I think I would have preferred it if Netflix went the weekly release route so that we'd have time to watch the show at a more reasonable pace, digest each episode, and let the tension build and grow.

Instead, I end up thinking about the show for just one weekend every year, which isn't anywhere near proportionate to how good it is!
