Binge-watching
(noun)
A favourite pastime of most millennials; Watching all the seasons of your favourite series back to back (all thanks to Netflix/Prime video/Hotstar/YouTube and an unlimited WiFi connection) and the one of the things that’s saving my sanity during the lockdown.
This is day #9 of the lockdown here in India. I’m safe in the confines of my comfortable house. Wherever you are, I hope you are safe and well. Take care.
I’m currently binge-watching Downton Abbey. What about you? Which show are you hooked on at the moment?
Here are the links to my other #AtoZChallenge one-liners. Click on any letter to read the corresponding post.

I’m binge-watching an old favourite – Downton Abbey. It’s a good time for streaming sites indeed. Coronavirus had most certainly ensured that. Thanks for reading. 🙂

Really true. Binge watching is what keeps sane. I would say not just binge watching, but binge eating and reading, all keep me sane during this lockdown.

Oops! Sorry about that. My granny is not a fan of binge-watching. So I admit I hadn’t taken others into consideration. Coronavirus and lockdown has most certainly changed our habits! Hope you are safe and well. 🙂

Binge-watching is something I am never able to do. I lose it after 4-5 episodes. Binge read, on the other hand, I am a master at that 🙂

Binge Blogging is replacing binge watching for the month of Apri my wife and I do a more modified binge watching like watching the first episode of eaxh season of a show and then the 5th and so on. We are doing that with the Bob Newhart Show on Hulu. We are big fans of Downton Abbey

You are very right. Binge blogging is the flavour of the month for April. Are you participating in the A2Z challenge too? Do send me a link. Modified binge watching? But don’t you feel like you are missing out on certain parts. I feel so and that’s why religiously watch each and every single episode. Glad to know that we have got blogging and Downton Abbey in common. Do keep visiting. 🙂 I hope that you are safe and well.

Seems like great shows. But I have never watched them. Downton Abbey is a series set in Britain in the 1900s and progresses over the seasons. It’s about British aristocracy. 🙂
