Netflix Reveals the Exact Episode You Became Addicted to Their Shows
Your relationship with Netflix is a complicated one. Every once in a while, you get the urge to watch an episode or two of a new show. Whatevs. You've got some free time before you have to get started on that essay, right? But before you know it, that one or two episodes of TV turns into watching six episodes straight because you got sucked into a binge-watching wormhole. Darn you, Netflix!
Have you ever wondered what it is that makes your brain shift from the I'm-watching-a-show-out-of-curiosity phase to the I'm-binge-watching-until-I-die phase? What storyline in Stranger Things was the one that finally turned you into a goner? And which conversation over the breakfast table finally made you fall in love with the Gilmore Girls?
Well, Netflix periodically conducts studies on their users' viewing habits to determine the exact episode that gets viewers hooked. According to Forbes, the latest study looked at 30 series, and determined "hooked" as the episode that kept 70% of viewers watching for the remainder of the season.
In other words: if you want to start a new series but know you have a paper due tomorrow, make sure you avoid the shows at the top of Netflix's latest ranking!
