Debate time: is it better to binge a new series or watch it weekly like it airs in Japan?

Last week I binged all of 'Frieren' in two days and loved the flow, but my friend in Tokyo says waiting weekly for each episode builds way more hype and community discussion.

Binging kills the weekly fan theory fun.

My friend group had to make a rule for new seasons. We watch one episode a week, on Tuesday nights. It forces you to actually talk about the clues instead of just racing to the end. The speculation is the best part, and binging just ruins that.

Oh man, I feel this so much. My buddy and I tried watching a mystery show together and he binged the whole thing in a weekend without me, then accidentally spoiled the big twist when we were talking about episode 2. It completely killed the fun of guessing who the killer was each week. There's something special about sitting on a cliffhanger for seven days and coming up with wild theories with your friends.
