Question about the 'just one more episode' trap

I tried to watch just the first episode of 'Severance' last Friday night to see what the fuss was about. That turned into a full weekend binge where I finished the whole first season in about 36 hours. I completely lost track of time and skipped a bunch of stuff I had planned. It's a great show, but I didn't expect to get that hooked. Has anyone else had a show completely wreck their weekend plans like that?

Oh man, I feel that. I once told myself I'd just watch the pilot for "The Bear" while folding laundry. Next thing I knew it was 3 AM, I was starving, and my clothes were still in a wet heap. The show was so good I forgot I owned an iron. I didn't even like cooking shows before that.

Streaming algorithms are built to do that...
