If you had to choose between watching regular Television, and Binge-Watching your favorite show on Netflix, which would you choose? Many people have a high opinion on how they prefer to watch their shows. There can be pros and cons to watching shows on both applications. Binge watching could be more convenient if you are watching having a lazy day, in some cases an average audience may enjoy the excitement they receive on waiting each week for a new episode on weekly release seasons. However, some audiences may get a little frustrated while having to wait for the next week to watch the next episode. Both Binge Watching and watching during the regular season, get you to watch your favorite shows. Shows like Law and Order, and Greys Anatomy both have extremely long episodes and seasons to watch. They both, however, are streamed on applications like Netflix, as well as regular television. Personally, I enjoy being able to Binge-Watch my favorite shows all day, because I enjoy being able to watch the shows.  

Binge-Watching and watching during the regular season both have their pros and cons. However, in some cases, binge watching may be more convenient. Coming home from a long day after work or school you may want to relax and watch some shows. On Applications like Netflix, you could watch as many episodes as you’d like, for however you like to freshen your mind after a long day. This could be a wonderful way to relieve any stress or worries you may have by getting your mind off it. However, in some cases, doing this could be challenging if you find yourself getting caught up in the shows. It could distract you from doing homework, or household responsibilities that you may have. 

Although it may be frustrating to have to wait a week or sometimes longer in other cases, watching shows during the regular season, could be beneficial in some cases. The adrenaline rush you get from having to wait may be exciting for some people. If the last episode of the television show ended good, you are going to get excited and want to watch the next episode right away. Although you may be mad or upset you must wait. However, the time you must wait for the next episode is going to be exciting to have to wait for. While as watching on an application like Netflix, you may get the same adrenaline to watch the next episode, but you might not get the same excitement because you know in the back in your head that the episode is always going to be there. You can watch it at any time and any place.  

Binge watching may be more convenient in most cases, could be draining in some cases. In some cases, after a long day of watching shows all day you may not know what to do for the rest of the day. You may find yourself lost and confused. While watching during the regular season, however, you have the full day to do whatever you want, but for the time that the show is on you dedicate yourself to the show.  

Both Binge-Watching and Watching during the regular season have their pros and cons. Binge-Watching could be more convenient in some cases, so you are able to watch throughout your entire day and not have to wait. However, watching during the regular season could give you the excitement and something to look forward to the next week. They are both great options and it is truly your choice and however you want your personal experience to be.
