Oh crap, is binge-watching bad for you?

It’s time again for everyone’s favorite feature: That Thing You Like Is Probably Killing You. This go-round the subject is binge-watching, the act of plopping down in front of a TV or laptop and refusing to move until you’ve watched every single second of Buffy The Vampire Slayer or Mad Men or the latest Marvel TV show that everyone told you was bad but, what the hell, it’s on Netflix so you might as well watch it anyway. As our favorite shows migrate more and more to streaming platforms and studios begin to purposefully craft entertainment that is “binge-worthy,” it’s probably a good idea to figure out whether subjecting yourself to that much screen time is actually bad for you.
