Nowadays at any given time, it seems most people have at least one series they are binge watching. So this is a thread about what we're currently binging, and how much we are digging it.
Please put spoilers in tags in this thread for people who haven't yet binged the show you list.
I'll start.
I'm currently catching up/ rewatching Riverdale and its spinoffs. I've seen Riverdale 1-3 as they originally aired, but didn't see any of season 4. I saw the first "part" or whatever of Sabrina but my mind totally blanks on it. Never saw any of the one season of Katy Keene.
So far I'm on Riverdale season 2. I remember it better than I thought I did, and the Black Hood mystery and his messages to Betty make so much more sense the second time around (as most mysteries do). Overall, I'm enjoying it, but I think it suffers from "too much" syndrome. It's a lot like the Arrowverse (which is also by Greg Berlanti) in that the episodes themselves are good, but there are more of them than necessary. These mysteries would be much better over say 13 episodes as opposed to 22. It feels like I've been on season 2 for forever for example. Even if I spend like 3 or 4 hours binging it a night that's still only like a quarter of a season. And even though it is admittedly good, I probably couldn't watch more than that in a day of it anyway. It's so much drama in one episode alone that I feel like I want to yell at every character to shut the f*** and stop whining about shit but then the nest day I want to watch more.

Over the holiday I turned on the Simpsons starting Season 1 Episode 1 and I think we are in the middle of season 4 already.

Been going through 'Barry' over the last few weeks, really enjoyable show and very quick to blow through (if I had the time I'd have probably one-shot both seasons in a day).
Also been 'binging' an episode of 'Food Wars!' every night for the last week or so. Did NOT expect so much adult themes to the show, but still very much a fun break from the depressing shows my wife watches so I'm more than happy with it.
Will be blowing through all of 'Cobra Kai' Season 3 once it comes out on Friday (probably not the whole season in a day, but wouldn't be surprised if I finish it in the weekend).

I've never actually wanted to watch something so bad that I had to see it the first instant possible like I feel about Cobra Kai Season 3. Does Netflix put stuff up right at midnight? Because if so that would be the perfect way to ring in the New Year for me. Just binge Cobra Kai from like midnight to 5 am while I smoke weed. Awesome way to say good riddance to 2020.

-Finishing up Star Trek TNG. About to start season 7 -Within the last month I watched Battlestar Galactica for the first time. A really cool sci fi military show -A Starz show starring JK Simmons, Counterpart, about an alternate reality, spies, intrigue. Great atmosphere and well acted

- Magnum P.I. (The old/real one)
- ALF
- Quantum Leap
- Rockford Files
I guess watching older shows makes me happier, for whatever reason. I guess it's because they're a vision of a time when the world wasn't complete garbage and on fire.

Just binged Seinfeld actually.
It felt shorter than I remember. I always watched it in middle school but never really "got it" until later in life.

Right now I'm going through Extreme Ghostbusters, Unhappily Ever After, GI Joe: Renegades, The Norm Show and Star Wars: Rebels. Within the last month I finished binging Duck Dodgers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, Thundercats (2011) and Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain. I should be getting the original Scooby-Doo Where Are You! DVD's from Netflix soon and will start rotating them into my binging schedule.

Was rewatching Zombieland Saga the other day, will probably get back to it after the Twilight Zone marathon (or during a run of bad episodes or something) since we're about to get season 2 news.

Tales from the Crypt and Peep Show. Doing a rewatch of both. Started on Season 7 of Creepshow this time around and finished then restarted with Season 1. I’ve done similar things with comedy series before when rewatching. Starting somewhere in the middle and watching until the end then starting at the beginning. It’s good with comedy shows since the emphasis is usually on the jokes and humor rather than complex plots. If I rewatch a series from the start sometimes I’m not that into it since the first episodes are so memorable and not always a series’ best. For Tales From the Crypt I started from the beginning though

Rewatched Rome on Prime, only two seasons (they ran out of money) but excellent if you're into history, great attention to detail, now going through the last season of Gotham which is okay.

'Merican Crime Story on Netflix.
Season 2 seemed to get a lot of "not as good as the first" flack, but rewatching it I think it's better in some ways. Fewer really hammy performances (looking at you, John Travolta) and a lesser known, more interesting story with a really reprehensible guy at the center.

I'm rewatching High Stakes Poker since they came out with a new season a couple of weeks ago. God, poker has changed in the last 15 years.

The new Nancy Drew series on the CW. It's fine, I guess? It wants to be Riverdale so bad and I just wish it did more to carve out its own identity.
I do like all the references they make to the original books and it certainly helps that I've been reading some of them over the past few months.
