*Potentially leading to intense exhaustion the next day.

For me, it was The Sinner Season 1. It was already a couple years old and I’d heard it was pretty good so I figured I’d watch an episode or two before bed. Next thing I know I’m in way too deep, it’s 4am and I’ve still got two episodes of the season left. I figured I was already gonna be tired so I watched the last couple of episodes and got about 3 hours of sleep. I’m not even sure why I was so engrossed by the show’s mysteries. I mean, it’s a good show and all, but certainly not an all-timer. I also ended up binging Season 2, albeit didn’t stay up all night to do it. (The last two seasons I watched in real time as episodes were released.)

What about you? Has a show ever caused you to unexpectedly pull an all-nighter?
