We've all been there, sprawled across the couch in the small hours of the night and our latest favorite TV show drops a bomb of a cliffhanger. You really should go to bed, tomorrow was the day you were going to start doing that productive thing-the new exercise routine, start writing, clean your room. Yet, the overwhelming stress of the cliffhanger has fastened its grip around you and the only way to relieve it? Continue watching. "Go on. Just one more episode," whispers the devil on your shoulder; the angel has already pressed play to start the next one.

This has been termed "binge-watching".
