Can we talk about the time I tried to binge 'Dark' over a single weekend?

I started it on a Friday night after work. By Sunday afternoon, I was completely lost in the timelines and family trees. I had to pause every episode to check the online charts. It was mentally exhausting, but I couldn't stop. I finished all 26 episodes in about 48 hours and my brain felt like scrambled eggs. Has anyone else had a show completely take over a weekend like that? What did you watch?

That feeling of your brain being scrambled eggs after a binge is the modern version of mental exhaustion. I see it everywhere now, not just with TV. People do it with video games, doomscrolling, even trying to learn a complex skill from YouTube in one sitting. We have all this information ready to stream straight into our heads, and we just open the valve until we're numb. It's like we're trying to mainline whole worlds in one go because we can.
