Though the phrase “binge-watching” has certainly made its way into German conversations, das Komaglotzen can also be used to describe the act of watching a lot of television at once. Komaglotzen describes the experience of watching television (or shows on a laptop) for many hours at a time, letting episode after episode auto-play until the entire afternoon or evening seems to disappear. Watch out, you might even get labelled with the new German word Komaglotzer, one who binge-watches. Komaglotzen is a compound word that offers an imaginative image of binge-watching.
