The joy of online television viewing is that you don’t have to wait until next week to see what happens. You can watch as many episodes as you like, back to back, because you have control.
This is a useful method when a programme has 8 seasons (or more) and you are starting at Season 1, Episode 1.
The point is not to reach the last episode in Season 8 when the show goes to Season 9, because this puts you right back in front of the ‘television’. You have to wait for the season to start and then get a once a week helping.
Where a series has ended, so that there are no more new episodes, you watch until the last episode completes. Where a series is going for another season, you want to stop watching regularly at least from mid the second to penultimate season.
For example, Blue Bloods has completed 6 seasons and has begun a 7th. If you begin to watch it now, you must realise that if you go too fast you’ll reach the last broadcast episode of Season 7 and have to wait. For example, you watching Episode 9 on or just after November 11th and must wait until the 9th of December to see Episode 10.
The better idea is to reach Season 5 and slow down your viewing so that you would only be in late Season 5 or early Season 6 and begin 7 when the season is over or almost over.
One of the pluses is that programmes you don’t like expose themselves quickly.
Take Vikings. I began and killed it mid Episode 3 of Season 1. It isn’t what I want to see. If I were watching on Television, seeing 1 at the beginning of the month, then 2 last week and now begin 3, the discomfort might be masked and I’d continue for a few more episodes when I could be doing something useful. By being able to watch an episode each day, I was quickly nauseated.
Watching online is a different experience than watching on the television. The difference must be embraced to gain the real enjoyment.
That is watching when you want and as many or few episodes as you want and quickly discerning if this show is something you want to waste time on.

A regular problem what television viewers would be facing has been neatly covered in the topic as to how things can be planned in a better way for the best result in getting entertained by the medium and not to become a slave of the medium. Many of the programs which we view would be disturbed due to different reasons and we cannot start at right place again immediately. My view to this is I like to watch program's which are of one serial and less than one hour duration as we do not have to worry about the subsequent ones . We can always view them if we get time or else we can skip them. But for people who view serials regularly the above tips are very useful. An interesting writing covering many aspects of television and entertainment industry.
Thank you. Also, I find that when I watch at my own pace; when I can see two episodes back to back or watch an epi every day, I am far more critical.
