SUPERFAD

TV Binge-watching


Listen Later

High speed internet has transformed home entertainment.
In the past two decades, Netflix has grown from a California-based mail order DVD outfit to a global streaming service with more than 100 million subscribers. In New Zealand, Lightbox has more than 300,000 subscribers. The once-dominant subscription TV service Sky TV, meanwhile, is in a seemingly terminal decline.
On-demand, streaming TV has spawned a so-called "golden age" in television. And it's encouraged a new kind of viewing: "binge-watching".
In this episode of Superfad, hosts Laura Walters and Katie Kenny are joined on the couch by technical producer Alex Liu to indulge in five hours of bingeing on a true crime series. (Don't worry, you get the highlights and insights, not the full version.) TV and movie reviewer Kate Rodger reveals her binge-watching addiction - and what it's done to her love life. And we hear some choice insights about the different types of shows consumed by Kiwis. Which are the most voraciously binged?
