>From the conversations I've had with people, it sounds like a common thing to binge through a couple of seasons of a given show, get bored of it, and then move on to another one of the hundreds of available shows.
Long before streaming was widespread, I would say that I had a "five season rule." What I meant by that is that, for a given series, by the time five seasons (give or take) had passed, I was just tired of the characters, style, setting, etc. Some series do a better job than others in mixing things up but, even when a series arguably maintains a level of quality, I'm ready to move on.
Of course, the ready availability of more quality streaming video than I have time to watch probably accelerates that process even more. There are at least a couple of series I can think of where I loved the first season but didn't really get into season 2.
