    When binging a series, don’t try to stop at the end of episode. It usually has enough cliffhanger to compels us to watch next episode. Just stop on scene changes, like when there’s a fade to black and the location changes

      This is exactly what I did when I recently watched The Fall of the House of Usher. After the first episode, I knew each ending was going to make me want to keep going. So i would switch it off when it would change scenes and come back to it later. Made me feel less like, “omg, I really need to see what’s going to go on next.” And made me realize I should do it more often.
