binge-watching

Series consumption spree

Binge-watching is consuming multiple episodes of a television series in rapid succession, often in a single sitting.

The practice became common with streaming services that release entire seasons at once, replacing the weekly episode model.

I spent Sunday binge-watching the new season.

The verb is binge-watch: We binge-watched six episodes last night.
