I don't even mean because it's episodic, it just pops right back out of my brain. Just about to finish watching all of succession, an episode a day, and couldn't tell you half of what happened unless you remind me.

That's the worst for me. If I binge it just goes into the big Binge Pot of Media Memories in my head. If I watch it daily or weekly, then I'm thinking about it and talking about it, ie interacting with the material, as it's coming out.

Reasonable for a 3 season show, completely insane for an 8 season one

Did that with GoT and my brain melted from so much. You end up needing to take a break mid way through anyway, might as well just watch them when the season comes out and watch a recap
