Ran into an old coworker at a coffee shop who binged the same show I did
I was grabbing a latte at this little spot in Austin last Saturday and bumped into a guy I used to work with like 5 years ago. We got to talking and somehow landed on how we both just finished watching Dark Matter on Apple TV. He said he binged the whole thing in two days, which is wild because I took almost a week with it. He told me he skipped the second episode because he thought it was slow, but I told him he missed a key plot point that ties into the ending. We stood there for like 20 minutes arguing about whether the alternate reality stuff made sense or not. It got me wondering, do you guys ever rewind or skip episodes when you binge, or do you force yourself to watch everything in order?

Skipping episodes is crazy to me, you just miss details the writer carefully planted.

Guilty as charged lol. I skip filler episodes all the time and then I'm lost during the finale wondering who that character is. My attention span is just not built for 22 episodes of a show when the story could've been told in 10.
