Showerthought: Binge watched Chernobyl in one night, bad idea

Started it at 8pm on a Tuesday after work. Didn't stop until 4am. The radiation burns scenes stuck in my head for days. Couldn't sleep the next two nights. Anyone else watch a heavy show too fast and regret it?

@daniel_gonzalez drink some water and sit in the sun for a bit, clears that heavy feeling right out.

Did you also get that weird feeling where the characters' guilt just sticks to you like static? I had to take a break halfway through because I was literally washing my hands every ten minutes, couldn't shake the grime. But yeah, binge watching is the way to go, makes the dread build up till you can't breathe.

Nah man I actually did the same thing and it was great. Watched the whole series in one sitting, went to bed at 5am, woke up feeling like I was glowing in the dark. The burn scenes are rough but that's the point, you're supposed to feel uncomfortable. Binge watching the whole thing makes you understand the real horror better than spacing it out over a week.
