binge session

Prolonged watching stretch

A binge session is an extended period of consuming multiple episodes of a show, chapters of a book, or levels of a game in one sitting.

The term emerged with streaming services that release entire seasons at once: I watched the whole series in one binge session.

It can extend to any sustained, intensive activity: a binge session of online shopping, cleaning, or doom-scrolling.
