And now, with shows specifically designed for online streaming, you can binge-watch entire seasons the day they premiere. Weekend plans don\u2019t exist when\u00a0<em>Floor Is Lava<\/em> hits Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know,\u00a0<em>Floor Is Lava\u00a0<\/em>is a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> show that was released on Netflix on June 19 that\u2019s based on the popular childhood game of the same name.\u00a0The show is hosted by Rutledge Wood of\u00a0<em>Top Gear<\/em> fame, and each\u00a0episode follows three teams as they traverse an obstacle course in a room that\u2019s filled with lava.<\/p>\n<p>They must use whatever items are in the room, e.g., chairs, curtains, chandeliers, paintings, etc., to get their three team members to the other side of the room.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever team gets the most team members across or does so in the fastest time, in the event of a tie, wins $10,000 and a lava lamp.\u00a0<em>Floor Is Lava\u00a0<\/em>is a show similar to\u00a0<em>America Ninja Warrior<\/em> in that each episode features new players and new courses.<\/p>\n<p><em>Floor Is Lava<\/em> is\u00a0exciting to watch because you never know how each group will use the rooms\u2019 items to get across and which teams will make it across with all three of their members.<\/p>\n<p>However, as I binge-watched the\u00a0<em>Floor Is Lava<\/em> this weekend, I couldn\u2019t help but feel that binge-watching isn\u2019t the best way to consume television, and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Binge-watching_changes_the_way_that_we_experience_television_together\"><\/span>Binge-watching changes the way that we experience television together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, there are still many ways in which television networks grab the attention of their viewing audience. Networks still air live sporting events and award shows and television sitcoms and dramas with writers that know how to get their audience to come back week-by-week.<\/p>\n<p>However, online streaming and the art of binge-watching changes how we watch and experience <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ed and reality television together. As a guy whose job it is to write about TV, I enjoy talking with others about the shows that I enjoy. There\u2019s something special about engaging with online communities that emerge on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> and Reddit around a shared love for a television show.<\/p>\n<p>To experience a show week-to-week together in a format that encourages moderation (yes, I\u2019m aware we\u2019re also in the age of DVR) is truly special. However, whereas DVR\u2019ing allows you to fall behind on episodes, binge-watching encourages you to watch an entire season as fast as possible. \u00a0What this means is that everyone is experiencing a season of a television show at different times.<\/p>\n<p>One of the worst examples of this phenomenon that I\u2019ve seen occurred last year when\u00a0<em>The Circle<\/em>, another reality game show, came to Netflix.\u00a0<em>The Circle\u00a0<\/em>is a social strategy game similar to\u00a0<em>Big Brother<\/em>.\u00a0In the show, 14 people move into separate apartments within an apartment complex and communicate through a social media platform called \u201cThe Circle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Players are eliminated one-by-one through a ranking system until the most popular player is crowned.<\/p>\n<p>As a fan of social strategy games, I was super excited when\u00a0<em>The Circle\u00a0<\/em>came to Netflix. However, my excitement quickly waned when I realized that the 12-episode season would be released every Wednesday, four episodes at a time. As a result, if you didn\u2019t want to risk exposure to spoilers or miss out on the conversation, you\u2019d have to binge four episodes in one night.<\/p>\n<p>When I began watching\u00a0<em>Floor Is Lava<\/em>, I felt that same urge to hop on Twitter and engage in the conversation, but I soon realized that I was again entering a conversation that was ahead of me.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Binge-watching_requires_us_to_tip-toe_around_spoilers\"><\/span>Binge-watching requires us to tip-toe around spoilers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What this creates is a world where we have to avoid spoilers online and in the real world. As a result, we\u2019re stuck to discussing shows in the abstract. If you\u2019re a casual viewer that only cares about discussing how Season 3 of\u00a0<em>Ozark\u00a0<\/em>ends, then this isn\u2019t a problem.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re like me, and you hate missing out on discussing the nuances of your favorite show with people that are as passionate about it as you are, then this is a problem. Binge-watching serves to dilute the conversation and alienate people from engaging in the conversation. The days of standing by the water cooler and discussing the latest episode of\u00a0<em>Seinfeld<\/em> are over.<\/p>\n<p>Now, \u201cMust See TV\u201d means \u201cYou Must See it Before People Stop Talking About It.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your thoughts on binge-watching?
