191. Why great TV asks for more than a binge

Why do some shows keep rewarding us years later? And is there a way to make those rewards come sooner — without having to get older or rewatch ad infinitum? In this episode, Alex introduces The Long Arc, a new 10-week experience built around the first season of HBO's Looking. She walks through what a typical week looks like, how the live sessions work, why each participant follows a different thread through the season, and how spending time with the same show—and the same group of people—changes the way you watch. The first season of The Long Arc begins June 30. 👉 Learn more about The Long Arc here You can reach Alex on Instagram @SeventhRow or via email at [email protected], if you have any questions.
