Binge watchers want an entire series at their fingertips—or else, says new study

As services like Netflix and Hulu have led to a binge-watching TV culture, entertainment execs want to understand exactly how people binge watch. Conviva, a “video optimization provider” which works with media companies and over-the-top (OTT) broadcasters like HBO, Sky, and Foxtel, surveyed 750 binge watchers to get a better understanding of their habits. The company found that most binge-watchers watch one show at time, want an entire series at their fingertips, and are quick to decide whether they’ll commit to a show or not.
