✕Common Mistakes

Using "devíamos" makes the sentence sound more formal; with "a gente" the conditional should stay singular (devia).
A gente devia maratonar isso logo depois.
"Logo depois" means "soon after", which changes the urgency of the suggestion.
A gente devia assistir isso logo.
In very formal contexts, replace with "assistir"; "maratonar" is slang.
