bingeworthy
Can't stop watching
Bingeworthy describes entertainment—usually a TV series—compelling enough to watch multiple episodes in one sitting.
The word emerged with streaming services that release entire seasons at once, enabling marathon viewing sessions.
Is the new season bingeworthy, or should I wait?
Something bingeworthy hooks you and doesn't let go.
