The most common reason for binge-watching TV series in the United States was that people like to watch episodes on their own schedule instead of waiting for periodic releases. Over half of respondents to a March 2021 survey stated so. A further 45 percent of U.S. binge-viewers said that a series feel more engaging to them when they can watch many episodes over a short period of time.
