I began binge-watching TV series in the early 2000s, long before streaming existed and became the primary way that we consume new shows. Now, it’s the primary way that most of us watch new TV because few of us tune in to cable, and even those of us who do will often watch shows later via streaming platforms. The only thing that you can’t choose with streaming is when and how the next season of a show will be released. Many respondents to the survey said fears of a show getting canceled influence their viewing habits of original streaming shows. I wanted the show’s release to be an event, to be my plans for a night.
