Watching multiple episodes of a TV series in rapid succession.

Explanation

Binge-watching refers to consuming multiple consecutive episodes of a TV series in a single sitting. Netflix popularized the practice by releasing entire seasons at once rather than weekly. Research shows that binge-watching is now the norm for TV consumption, with 70%+ of streaming viewers regularly watching 3+ episodes in a row.
