binge watch
Consume episodes continuously
Binge watch means to watch multiple episodes of a television series in rapid succession, typically in one sitting or over a short period.
The practice became widespread with streaming services that release entire seasons at once: I binge watched the whole series over the weekend.
The noun is binge, borrowed from its association with uncontrolled consumption of food or alcohol.
