so guys there are two facts that i kind of want to point out in this video one
is that it's summer and two netflix exists and you put those two together and you
have me been watching a lot of things I am a big binge-watcher I binge watche
many shows i just finished binge watching last week orange is the new black
they released their fourth season it was amazing i watched almost all of it in
one sitting
I cried I laughed I felt so many feelings after season four I literally
was pacing by this hallway next to me just ugly crying like Kim Kardashian
ugly crying
recently I feel like I've become a bit of an expert on binge watching I've had a
lot of experience with it I've binge watched gossip girl, glee, mad men
Parks and Rec, 30 rock. because of that I started to realize that there's kind of
this similar thing that goes on every time you binge-watch, there's these
stages that you go through so I thought today I would talk to you guys a little
bit about that talk about the five stages of binge watching so without
further ado here are the five stages
that's ten - five stages of binge watching first stage of binge watching is when I
would say you're an innocent
soul you don't know about the show that you're about to binge-watch your being a
productive member of society
you're enjoying life you're just going about your business until that fateful
day when you stumble across the show
maybe you're browsing netflix for a good movie and you find this one TV show
it's the moment of contact you and the show
meet, you collide
it's beautiful it's magical it's love at first sight this is when your down
fall begins my friend
so the second stage is whenever you have actually started watching that show you're just
kind of checking it out, you're enjoying it sure but you're not crazy about it
second stage is when you're just watching as a normal fan of the show but
you're not obsessed yet
just you wait you're gonna go crazy soon enough the second stage is probably
where we all should be when it comes to watching shows i feel like that's the
healthiest place to be where you're just enjoying it like a normal human being
should the third stage something very important happens you start watching an
episode and it ends and you decide
hey I'm just gonna let that autoplay go; I'm just gonna watch one more episode it
gets fine. that's the moment everything goes
wrong -- or right, or perfectly right depending on how you look at it, you know
stage 3 is that time where you go from a normal fan to a crazy fan
you're getting pulled deeper and deeper into the black hole that is binge
watching. you say just one more episode but you know it's not just one more episode
you know like 10 more episodes so stage 4 binge-watching, I think when you're
in the moment is the best stage but in hindsight once it's all done with and
you can look back
it's probably the worst stage the stage four is whenever you have gotten hooked
you are in on this you love it, when you're not watching the show you're
looking at who the actors are, you're looking at fanfiction, you're looking at
alternative story lines and who the writers are, who the directors are, was it based
on a book? well now you gotta go read the book
you are obsessed you'll sometimes even
dream about what you've been watching all day
stage 4 is probably a time where you have fallen in love with one or multiple
characters in that show and/or you are hardcore shipping a couple in the show
you're watching like they have become your life you are now following those
shipping accounts on Instagram you look up interviews you like reading
fanfiction of that ship it's a dark place
also there's kind of a uniform for Stage four. it's just wearing oversized shirts and
sweatpants that's it you have to be in the most comfortable outfit so you can
be the most comfortable position while you've binge watch 10 hours straight
of binge watching it takes a toll on your back you gotta move around a little
stage 5 is as you guys can tell because there's only five stages the
last stage which means that it's that period of time when you have just
finished the show that you've been watching like crazy either because the
season that they just released is over, like with orange is the new black
or like parks and recreation the entire show is done. you watched all seven
seasons you watched them all every single one and it's done and they're never
going to make another one. I'll be honest I was in stage 5 of binge watching
orange is the new black last week and I was very
emotional at least it's something like oranges in your black I can kind of
think well though I just have to wait another year and then we'll have another
season and then i'll watch it in a day
why can't they just constantly produce stuff for us. why? just have no lives guys just
make our lives more fulfilled. it has become your life and it's gone
like when I was watching gossip girl like crazy they honestly became my life
i was going through kind of a dip in my happiness and they had become my friends
they were the drama that I saw every day they were the homes I saw every day
they were the interactions that I saw every day. they became kind of part of my life
and when the entire show ended I kind of felt like I had lost people which I know
seems crazy and I don't mean to minimize in any way people who have actually lost
close ones but it does for a short period of time have this feeling of wow
i just lost like close people in my life I've lost these good friends that I
made that I've been with and they have comforted me and been there with me and now
they're just gone
it's a sneeze..... it's not happening
I hate that feeling oh ok it's gone and though stage 5 can be devastating
emotional gut-wrenching all these things it can also be good because you can now
go on with your life become a productive member of society embrace your loved
ones and most importantly start another show to start binge-watching which
brings me back to stage one
