To further derail this thread, I will add that I had a similar experience the first time I watched the second season of Twin Peaks "back to back".

I just bought Chris the whole shebang, so we'll have to try the back to back method and see who it works out.

Sounds kinky.

Yes, I'd agree that heavily or moderately serialized TV shows benefit well from fast viewing (though it could also highlight flaws).

But while I still love Perry Mason, watching Season 1 in three weeks was not helpful.

I think Red Dwarf is one of the best examples ever of straddling that line between serial vs. discrete episodes. Makes it eminently watchable either way, in small bits or strung together. The episodes don't require you to have followed the story, but they thread together a few slow-developing character sub stories, enough to keep it from getting overly repetitive.
