Simply put, binge watching changes, or has the potential to change, \u003ci\u003eeverything\u003c\/i\u003e Engagement, immersion, attention to content and other devices, identification with characters and social engagement with fellow viewers, as well as content choices, and cable and over-the-top (OTT) subscription rates. Binge watching has quickly become a new norm in television viewing across audiences. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBinge Watching\u003c\/em\u003e reviews historically significant advancements in the television industry and in technology that better enable binge watching, such as timeshifting, increasing quantity and (sometimes) \u003ci\u003equality \u003c\/i\u003eof content, as well as distribution strategies and suggestions algorithms employed by OTT providers. We situate binge watching as human-centered, that is, driven by innate human needs and wants, such as a desire to consume well-constructed stories and to connect with others. We also review the current state of academic binge watching research--from motives and habituation to the (over-pathologizing) addiction-based studies. This text concludes with a synopsis of the central arguments made and identifies several areas for future research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridget Rubenking\u003c\/strong\u003e (Ph.D., Indiana University) is an associate professor of film and mass media at the University of Central Florida.
