The Boys is really good. I was actually surprised by how much I ended up liking it.
I totally get what you're saying about Elementary! I love the show, but some episodes are simply boring and the seasons are long. I actually dropped it after S2 because I really hated Mycroft. Eventually I caught up during S4, but I probably liked the idea of the show more than the show itself after S1 if that makes sense.

I’m glad it wasn’t just me anyway, to be totally honest I kept associating the actor for Mycroft with the funny Welsh flatmate that he played in Notting Hill when he was dancing around in his pants, it was really weird and off-putting to me when him and Joan started sleeping together

Binging one season (S3 in my case) was fine, but I do know what you mean by it becoming a chore. And I can totally see how Supernatural can become the same. I used to watch Hawaii Five-0 and I cannot imagine continuing it. I dropped it after S5 and there are on S10 now. I don't mind longer seasons when it's something I watch on a weekly basis though.
I'm definitely the wrong person to ask. Fandom involvement for me is making icons and reading fanfic. For fanfic I only ever use AO3. At least before Tumblr suspended my account I could look at pretty gifs and came across some meta occasionally.
Never watched AHS because I'm such a baby when it comes to anything scary or creepy, lol, but from what I've heard the first season really was the best.
I loved The Big Bang Theory, too. I did feel it was maybe time for it to end, but that didn't make it any less sad to see it go. At least the reruns are on TV all the time!
TBBT is very much like Friends to me in the comforting familiarity of it, but while it seems that Friends is still very popular, you do struggle to find anyone saying anything positive much about TBBT, almost seems like it’s the cool thing to hate it. I agree that it was time for it to end, but definitely it’s the kind of sitcom where I can just waste most of the day on watching episode after episode XD
And heh I’m a total baby as well, I was absolutely terrified for most of The Haunting Of Hill House, but weirdly AHS didn’t particularly bother me. I can’t think of any scene in that show that really scared me, whereas the tension buildup in Hill House was absolutely terrifying to me. I did really enjoy AHS though and seeing it all come together, even if a few of the big plot twists had already been spoiled for me long ago
