We have all sat down to enjoy one episode of a new TV show, or the first movie of a series, and then found ourselves sat there, many hours and multiple episodes later. Once again, you have been sucked into the vortex of binge-watching.
And sometimes, there are days where a movie marathon or a day of TV shows is just what you need, and all you have to do is select the titles. But how do you go about choosing the TV show or movie series that is perfect for the time you have to put your feet up and relax?
Read on for the ultimate guide to hours of content in the top streaming and cable titles of today.
With the introduction of home streaming services, the way we view media has changed significantly.
With so much content at our fingertips and only a screen’s distance away from the couch, watching episodes of your favorite shows back-to-back is a natural reaction.
The cultural force of “binge-watching” was born with Netflix, Prime Video, and other streaming platforms.
Though Netflix and Prime Video primarily made their mark with rerunnable series of older titles, such as Friends or Seinfeld, newer shows were also added to the platforms and gained immediate results from it.
This binge-watching created larger viewer bases for TV shows, through social media buzz and the occasional national pop culture conversation, including shows that were currently running, and might have been previously overlooked.

Snack Ideas, Cozy Setups, & Streaming Services
To prepare for your binge-watching experience, it’s time to stock up on snacks and comfortable items. Fuzzy blankets, slippers, pillows, and tea are all great ways to enhance your cozy setup, and snacks like popcorn, candy, trail mix, pizza bites, nachos, poutine, and any other bite-sized, hand-held nibble are all great ways to sustain yourself through a successful binge-watch.
