binge watch

This term describes a modern consumption habit driven by the availability of streaming services. It carries a connotation of indulgence or a lack of moderation, often implying that the viewer has neglected other responsibilities or sleep to finish a series. While it can be used neutrally to describe a hobby, it frequently suggests a sense of guilt or an "all-consuming" obsession with the narrative.

In terms of register, it is an informal, contemporary expression. It is widely used in casual conversation and digital media but would typically be replaced by phrases like "watching extensively" or "consuming a series in rapid succession" in formal academic or professional writing.
