Experience four seasons in one day, say?

Answer:

BINGE

Hint:

Watch an entire series in a single sitting, perhaps with emotional whiplash.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the phrase "four seasons in one day," which usually describes unpredictable weather—but here, it’s a clever nod to binge-watching. "Four seasons" hints at TV seasons, and "in one day" suggests watching them all at once, which is what "binge" means in modern slang. The word "experience" ties it together, since binge-watching is how many people consume entire series quickly. The "say" signals it’s a playful interpretation rather than literal weather.
