You can watch a show on TV and then wait a week for the next episode. Or, you can wait and watch all of the episodes one after another. Binge watching isn’t a waste of time, it’s the best way to really get into the story. In today’s episode we not only love to binge watch, but we love the snacks and ice cream that go with it all too.

Dialogue

A: Você sabe que dia é amanhã?

B: Claro, mal posso esperar. É o dia da maratona de séries. Traga o sorvete e os doces.

A: Hoje em dia é a melhor maneira de assistir aos programas de TV, né?

B: Concordo: sem comerciais e sem esperar a semana toda.

A: E eu principalmente adoro entrar de cabeça na história e ver tudo de cabo a rabo.

B: Você já decidiu o que a gente vai assistir?

A: Deixa eu ver minha lista no Hulu e na Netflix.

B: Beleza, você que decide, eu aceito qualquer coisa desde que a pipoca continue rolando.

A: You remember what tomorrow is?

B: Of course, can’t wait. Binge watching time! Bring on the ice cream and treats.

A: Nowadays it’s the best way to watch shows, you know?

B: Agreed, no commercials, and no waiting a whole week.

A: And I especially love being able to get 100% into the story all at once.

B: Have you decided yet which show we’re going to watch?

A: Let me check my list on Hulu and Netflix.

B: Got it, you decide, I’m up for anything, as long as the popcorn keeps flowing.
