After confusing two characters, I now pace my binge-watching
I need to warn you about rushing through shows without breaks. I totally mixed up two main characters in a political drama because I binged it all in one night. Now I make a rule to watch just two episodes at a time. This lets my brain process the story and remember who is who. For example, with a show like 'The Crown', taking pauses helped me follow the timeline better. Try setting a limit to avoid losing track of the plot. It really makes the whole experience more satisfying and clear.
