Binge-watching

[edit]

Binge-watching, also called binge-viewing or marathon-viewing, is the practice of watching television for a long time span, usually a single television show. In a survey conducted by Netflix in February 2014, 73% of people define binge-watching as "watching between 2-6 episodes or more of the same TV show in one sitting." Researchers have argued that binge-watching should be defined based on the context and the actual content of TV show.
