My best friend had the exact same rule and broke it last fall with a thriller that was dropping weekly. She started hate watching it at first because she wanted answers right away, but then she got into a group chat with strangers on Reddit and they would all guess the killer together every Thursday night. By the finale she said it was the most fun she'd had watching TV in years, way better than binge shows she forgets in a week. The waiting forces you to sit with it and wonder, and the talking about it makes the whole thing a shared event instead of just something you do alone on the couch. Now she won't even touch a show that's fully out because she says it feels like homework. So you are not the only one who flipped, the week to week thing actually builds a little community around a show.
