A comment on episode length changed how I watch slice-of-life shows
Someone told me I was binge-watching them wrong and that each episode is meant to be savored like a short story. Now I only watch one per night with tea and it completely changed how I feel about the pacing.

Three episodes deep is when the real mood settles in.

Doesn't that kind of delayed settling happen with most good shows though, @julia_anderson?

Right, "savored like a short story" except my short stories usually don't involve someone spending ten minutes deciding on a mochi flavor. I tried the tea thing once, but I just ended up spilling it on my keyboard when the main character tripped over a cat. Binge-watching might be wrong, but at least I finish the dang plot before my tea gets cold.
