Binge Watching

Under binge -watching, also called " coma staring ", looking from several episodes or seasons of a series is understood in a row. This is a cultural trend, which is particularly favored by the rising popularity of video-on- demand offerings. By providers such as LOVEFiLM, max cathedrals or Netflix in the U.S., it is the viewer possible at any time to watch video on demand over a stream. In contrast to linear television, where the program is defined as a linear sequence of items by the TV station and typically the episodes of a series relay are spread over several months, several series may be behind the other looked at video-on- demand offerings.

Although binge -watching is also possible by the publication of a complete series Season on DVD, but in this case the consequences were usually previously already aired on TV. This DVD sets therefore aimed primarily at fans to watch episodes again. Special relevance has binge -watching, therefore, if for example in the series House of Cards all episodes of the first season premiere will be published at the same time and cliffhanger can be largely circumvented.
