I am definitely guilty of bingeing shows that I get into. Even the aforementioned DS9, I watched the 180 episodes or so over the span of probably 6 months. It was great. Though building off the previous comment that you made, DS9 is serialized rather than episodic. The show came out before streaming, but I didn't watch it until after streaming because of how unapproachable serialized shows are on standard scheduled TV.
That said, I can still appreciate episodic shows. Comedies (including sitcoms) do really well with this format. And interestingly, I would even put sports into this category. There is continuity across a season via record and standings, but each game itself is largely self-contained. You can miss a game, or even a bunch of games, and just jump back into watching whenever. Regarding baseball's long season of 162 games, I've seen someone refer to it as a friend who is always there for you.
As long as people who don't want to have children aren't pressured. Not everyone is interested in parenting, and that needs to be accepted.
