When adults say they binged a whole season of a show in a day?

[Anonymous]

So, I’m leaving out anyone who is on a summer break - high school, college kids. But I’m curious.. when do people watch an entire day of TV? Many people I talk to have said I watched an entire season of a show in a day (maybe several seasons over an entire weekend). Do they stay up really late watching tv? Watch all day long? I feel guilty watching more than about an hour and like to go to bed by 11, so I just don’t understand the logistics. I don’t want to ask and be judgy… I’m just wondering if that’s what people do!

I don't to this since having kids but when I did it was just watching all day.

Well yes, watching it all day plus few adults go to sleep at 11pm.

I'm an adult. Sometimes I watch like six episodes of Grey's in a day. I don't have a lot going on. I like being home.

I have adhd. I could never sit still that long 🤣

The vast majority of adults I know who do this don’t have children.

I recently had surgery and was mostly in bed for about 5 days recovering. I binged a couple of shows then.

I do it sometimes on weekends when my kids are with their dad.

But when I binge a season in a day, it’s a show that has a 6-10 episode season. Not a network show with a 20+ episode season.

The seasons aren't that long anymore.

It's called a weekend day.

Yeah i don't get it either. I can watch like 2 shows max a day and that never happens.

+1. The ten episode seasons of "prestige" TV makes this possible.

I cannot imagine. Even if I like a show I can’t sit in front of the TV for more than two hours without getting antsy.

Plus, I generally have too much to do to just plant myself by the TV all day…and I do like to watch TV, but not endlessly.

I don't know about an entire season, but if it's a mindless series I might have it on while doing stuff around the house, cooking, working out etc. When kids were littler and DH took them out for a Saturday, I did this more often than I care to admit It's weird how much I enjoyed just being able to do normal adult house things without getting interrupted every 15 minutes.

I've done that but for Asian series that have 10-16 episodes, not more. Do not recommend, because you can't really enjoy the series as much, IMO.

I have done it once or twice but:

— Limited series
— I was sick and shit
— or, I took a mental health day and shit.

I do believe I knocked out two seasons of Friday Night Lights once in like 2018.

Good times.
