I am a media soak. When I get into a series the has a dvd or netflix release, I have no problem with watching it in its entirety. The rate at which I consume the show means I can ether see the entire thing in a day or a week (depending on number of seasons). My affinity for music is not as hardcore, but I still will search and artist back collection it I get into them. Video games I get into take a few days, as I'll often try to do the optional missions too.
All I can really say is that I am lucky to be in an age where I can do this with just an internet connection. Granted, with releases to the internet being delayed, I will always be behind in terms of story with my friends who do keep up regularly through tv/cable means. Case and point: Game of Thrones. I love the show but I haven't seen any of third season yet. Saw the first and second many times, but still not on the third.
That's another thing though, I am willing to wait till a season is over before I catch up. Usually its because... well the rate I watch the whole thing means that after the finale it will only take me a few days to be there in the conversation. I'm sure it also helps that I am okay with most spoilers. The way I figure it, someone can tell you what happened to the best of there ability, but its still not going to compare to seeing it happen for yourself. Then again most my friends are spoiler-sensitive in one way or another, so it usually never comes to that.
