Americans Love Binging on Cable and Streamed TV Episodes
Published at
iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Binge-watching cable and streamed TV has become an American obsession based on the findings of Deloitte LLP’s Digital Democracy Survey.
Nearly seven in ten of the 2,000 content consumers admitted binge watching a series at least once, which involves viewing three or more episodes in one sitting.
Perhaps more surprising is that three in ten of the respondents ages 14 and older said they binge watched a series at least once a week.
As for the kinds of programs people view in multiple episodes, hour-long dramas such as Mad Men, Game of Throne and House of Cards were preferred by 54 percent of the survey participants.
People also like binge watching comedies, but not as much with 20 percent making series like Veep and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt their top choices.
