Binge or skip: Does watching one episode per week make shows better in the long run?

I started a debate with my buddy last month after we both finished 'The Good Place' on different schedules. I binged the whole thing in 3 days, while he spaced it out over 3 months with one episode per week. He says he appreciated the jokes more and let the themes sink in, but I felt like I got the full emotional ride without forgetting what happened. Last week I tried his method with 'Severance' and honestly I kept losing track of small details between episodes. But then again, he says shows like 'Lost' hit harder when you had to wait a whole week for the next cliffhanger. Which side do you fall on for modern streaming shows?

Binge or skip" is a false choice, you can watch two episodes a week and be fine.
