Binge-watching Practice of watching television for a long time span

Binge-watching is the practice of watching entertainment or informational content for a prolonged time span, usually a single television show. Binge-watching overlaps with marathon viewing which places more emphasis on stamina and less on self-indulgence. In a survey conducted by Netflix in February 2014, 73% of people define binge-watching as "watching between 2–6 episodes of the same TV show in one sitting". Some researchers have argued that binge-watching should be defined based on the context and the actual content of TV show. Others suggested that what is normally called binge-watching in fact refers to more than one type of TV viewing behavior. They proposed that the notion of binge-watching should be expanded to include both the prolonged sit and the accelerated consumption of an entire season of a show, one episode at a time, over several days.
