This book situates binge watching as one of several new television
viewing behaviors which collectively contribute to a fundamental
change in the way we view television today. Simply put, binge
watching changes, or has the potential to change, everything:
Engagement, immersion, attention to content and other devices,
identification with characters and social engagement with fellow
viewers, as well as content choices, and cable and over-the-top
(OTT) subscription rates. Binge watching has quickly become a new
norm in television viewing across audiences. Binge Watching reviews
historically significant advancements in the television industry
and in technology that better enable binge watching, such as
timeshifting, increasing quantity and (sometimes) quality of
content, as well as distribution strategies and suggestions
algorithms employed by OTT providers. We situate binge watching as
human-centered, that is, driven by innate human needs and wants,
such as a desire to consume well-constructed stories and to connect
with others. We also review the current state of academic binge
watching research-from motives and habituation to the
(over-pathologizing) addiction-based studies. This text concludes
with a synopsis of the central arguments made and identifies
several areas for future research.
