Probably not a bad idea to wait to be honest. So much stuff gets cancelled after one or two seasons and finishes on a cliffhanger. Makes you feel like you've wasted hours.
I'd probably get bored of series like Game of Thrones if I had to wait a week before each episode too. At least with waiting I can watch 2 or 3 a night for a couple of weeks so I can remember what is going on.
