Netflix is releasing more original series every week, and experts say it's a sign of the times.
What Binge Watching Does to Your Brain | Let Lee Explain
Most of us have binge-watched an entire series in one day and wondered where the time went. On the other hand, we have all looked forward to our favorite TV show airing at its scheduled weekday time. Binge-watching and watching weekly shows when they air regularly are two very different ways we consume our shows these days.
"We all have different viewing habits and there's no right or wrong answer, but I also feel like we're all a lot busier than we used to be," Dan Rayburn, principal analyst at research firm Frost & Sullivan, told Lifewire over the phone. "Now there's so much content overload that even if you make a list of everything you want to watch, you're not going to watch it all."
When Netflix's streaming service debuted in 2007, subscribers enjoyed being able to watch seasons of their favorite shows all at once. Now, the streaming service has begun rolling out more weekly shows into a regular cable format.
