Pro tip: start a long show on a weeknight and you will lose a Thursday to it
Last Wednesday I put on the first episode of a 10 part crime drama at 9pm just to see the pilot, and by 3am I was on episode 5 with the credits rolling and my alarm set for 6. I moved my laptop to the kitchen counter on Thursday night so I could cook while I kept going, and finished the whole season by Friday lunch with zero recall of my actual workday. Does anyone else set a hard episode limit at night, or do you just give up and ride it out to the end?
