Have different opinion too, I feel unless it's a mini show, binge watching isn't fun, cos that flow and development you won't feel, you may even miss an important sequence by skipping it and plays an impact. But ofc differs, from each person!
You are right. Because I have faced this problem. Like I was taking huge jump and just got the gist of the show. But then I read a few posts in their forum and I was like - yeh kab hua? kaise hua? 🤓 So I have to search those episodes again. I have mostly watched the post wedding episodes properly. Now I am planning to watch the beginning. 
In case of Mini Series, it's actually better to binge watch when the suspense is crisp. 😈
Worst part I felt was leads didn't get much sequences together though, unlike shows you mentioned. Definitely progress was there and was happy! Like their confession was one of the best, the build up for the scene, was amazing and both nailed it, specially Shakti, blood and love for her. I never like blood scenes, but that seq made total sense.
Well, I can't really tell how much time they got together. But yes, the confession episode was top notch. And I agree, even when there was breaking stuff and Ishaani got injured - everything made sense. 
I was discussing this with Nikki earlier. That at certain points, extreme anger and frustration might result from extreme love. But there is a build up and everything. Aisa to nahi ki Ranveer just came out of nowhere and slit Ishaani's wrist. 
But really hate it when fans start justifying crap like Jinn saying it's hot and love.
Anyway, that episode solely belonged to Shakti. 👏 👏 👏
I also loved the episode where he broke down in front of Hritika. While I wanted to give him a tight slap for not trusting Ishaani because at that point she had done enough to redeem herself, it broke my heart when he said - she doesn't love me but pity me. Like the fear of rejection was so much that he just didn't want to get close to her. Poor guy! 😭 😭 😭
