Binge read - hum. One issue with many long running series or really serials, is that they were a bit repetitive. Many were serials in magazines that basically gave the reader a known quantity. I would say that Perry Mason, Ellery Queen, Tarzan, Doc Savage, Conan the Barbarian all fall into the same basic grouping. They were designed so that reading one didn't depend on reading the previous story. There was, of course, Sherlock Holmes.
