History

There was a time when television stations would run ‘marathon’ events of old series or multi-part movies as a special event for fans, but now it’s something that happens every night of the week through services like Netflix and Hulu. Once a seasonal event, producers of movies and films are now specifically releasing their shows to feed the habit that is binge-watching. Shows like House of Cards are released all in one go, rather than having a weekly broadcast date or release format, and that is a direct result of their customers loving to sit down and lose themselves in another world a season or more at a time.

While reports say that many people start to feel guilty after having watched a few episodes, thinking there was a better way they could have spent their time, binge-watching actually has some very real benefits. By binge-watching a show, you allow yourself to relax and let the stress of the day slip away from your shoulders, and just enjoy your favorite stories for a while. For many people every day is a case of frantic activity and constant digital connection to friends and the world, Binge Day gives you a much-needed vacation from all of that.
