The BBC have dropped the entire fourth series of GHOSTS onto iPlayer, Netflix style.

Personally, I'll be watching one episode at a time, and spacing them out - maybe not one a week, but definitely letting each episode sit with me for a while, ruminating in my brain before moving on.

Earlier this year, The Boys Season 3 opened with a 3 episode drop, then weekly instalments, and the frantic rush to see the first three didn't do it any favours. I went back to them later to appreciate them more.

While both series have their flaws, I'm actually really enjoying watching both 'House of the Dragon' and 'The Rings of Power' on a once-a-week level. They're sitting in my mind more than those shows you rush through because it's all there to gorge yourself silly watching.

Where possible, I like to avoid spoilers and eek things out... I managed to go through 'The Sandman' over the course of two weeks, but would have liked more time with each episode to consider the possibilities.

There's always time for binge watching my favourites later. I think I've watched about 150 episodes of classic Doctor Who this year alone.

But new stuff, especially long form narratives just work better when you have characters in your 'life' for longer, I find.

I eeked out The Outlaws recently, only finishing Series 2 tonight, and now I adore the whole gang in a way I might not have done if I'd ploughed through each series.

Take your time, folks. It really does reap rewards.
