Binge-watching

Tom likes binge-watching shows on Netflix.

I've just finished binge-watching Gomorrah.

William's idea of fun is to spend a lazy day at home binge-watching his favorite TV shows.

In the poll of 1,275 Canadians conducted by Head Research, viewers were asked how many episodes of a show they went through consecutively during a binge-watching session on a weeknight or on a weekend.

The subject tends to polarize TV critics, too, some of whom say binge-watching erases that social media bond fans have forged over series like "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad" and "Game of Thrones."

The biggest challenge with binge-watching is avoiding mentions of plot twists and other spoilers in the news media, on social networks and in casual conversations.
