/ˈbɪndʒ ˌwɒtʃ.ɪŋ/noun / verb
ELI5 Mode🧒

Binge-watching is the practice of consuming multiple episodes of a TV show or video content in a single, prolonged sitting, often driven by the addictive pull of storytelling. This modern habit has been supercharged by streaming services that drop entire seasons at once, turning what was once a weekly ritual into an all-night marathon, but it can also spark conversations about its effects on sleep and screen addiction.
