The Friday File: 8% of American who were recently surveyed considered “binge-watching” to consist of watching two straight episodes of a show. 27% thought three back-to-back episodes qualified as binge-watching, and 22% thought four episodes is what is needed. 13% thought it was five episodes, 5% considered the magic number six, 10% thought it was seven and 15% had no idea. Personally, I think binge-watching should be counted in seasons!
