Binge-watching. It’s a term that gained widespread popularity thanks to Netflix alone. But it’s a lot more than just a new phrase to describe an old activity.
Before the days of streaming services, enjoying a TV show was something that had to be done on a week to week basis, not to mention the number of commercial breaks you’d also have to sit through — which would only serve to draw you out of the drama of the series.
But now that that’s a thing of the past, people aren’t only able to enjoy shows on their own schedules, they’re also getting immersed in the lives of these TV characters more than ever before. They're getting sucked into these fictional worlds to the point of not being able to get up from the couch until they know how everything is going to turn out.
And to make this addiction all the much more potent, it doesn’t help (or does it?) that Netflix is also making some of the best original movies and shows available today. But since this is a quiz about binge-watching, we'll only be sticking to their shows.
So let's see if you're up to date on the best Netflix original content, or if you're someone who's currently rewatching Friends or The Office for the eleventh time.
