binge-watch

Stream without stopping

Binge-watch is to watch multiple episodes of a television series in rapid succession, typically in a single sitting.

The practice became widespread with streaming services that release entire seasons at once: I binge-watched the whole series over the weekend.

The noun binge-watching describes the habit.

Also spelled without the hyphen.
