Binge-watching, also called
binge-viewing or
marathon-viewing, is the practice of watching television for a long time span, usually of 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 of the same TV show in one sitting." Binge-watching as an observed cultural phenomenon has become popular with the rise of online media services such as
Netflix,
Hulu, and
Amazon Video with which the viewer can watch television shows and movies on-demand.
