The binge watching mostly was because I had one of those moments where I just didn't feel like doing anything which made it easy to just lay on my coach and watch the whole thing in a couple of days. Right now, I'm in the opposite mood which makes me skip on Season 3 and further for now.
I would say watch 2 or 3 episodes of Death Note and you will know it's something for you or not. If so, you will be hooked all the way trough.
