Con- It's not exactly a healthy way to live your life. Sitting on the couch/chair/bed and watching what will probably be at least 24 hours of television for one season.

Pro- Sometimes it's nice to completely disconnect from life and enjoy the cocoon of self-indulgence and laziness as you watch characters in a show.

I believe that binge watching is a good thing. First of all, binge watching can be used as a stress reliever and in times like today where depression is on the up rise binge watching can be a simple solution. Binge watching helps ones mind explore, instead of being trapped inside a cell of the same thoughts. By getting away from the same thoughts can lead to knew ideas and solutions to problems. Also, binge watching is fun; just sitting all cuddled up in a blanket, eating popcorn, and watching your favorite season. Sure some might say oh but binge watching is addicting. It is, but isn't everything addicting? This is why you need to limit yourself on everything you use/do including binge watching lol. So if you're feeling down go ahead and binge watch, it helps just remember not to overdo it. There are other solutions to problems one might have.

Binge watching can be a good thing. Binge watching can help in really difficult times and get things off your mind, such as if you had a bad day, you could turn on your favorite TV show or movie. It can also help pass time if you are nervous or scared. For instance, if you're getting a tooth fixed at the dentist and have dental anxiety like many people do, you could ask your dentist to turn on a movie so you could focus on something other than the operation. TV shows are a great conversation starter and awkward filler. If you were to have a friend over and didn't know what to talk about or what to do, you could turn on you and your friends favorite show and have heated conversations on debatable scenes from the show. Many people may have relationship/friendship problems and can feel very alone and think they're the only ones going through what they are going through. Sometimes watching a show with individuals with the same problems can really help and make you feel not so alone.

Why is binge watching bad for us and what does it do to our brains? The more we watch and keep watching till we are done is taking away our time to do other things. We get so compelled in watching that we get lazier and lazier to do other things such as taking responsibility in our daily lives, and being more active. Because people are so compelled in finishing a show they stay up all night and then they are tired and don't want to get up in the morning. With all the late night binge watching people are lacking sleep which is bad for their health and could be dangerous.

Cons for Binge-watching: when you Binge-watch you get fatigued and lazier. People think Binge-watching is fun and exciting, but do they stop to think about what the bad benefits of Binge-watching leads to? Well, let me tell you: Binge-watching can lead to negative effects like laziness, you get addicted to the shows and don't get the sleep you need, only getting a couple of hours of sleep. Also, when you binge watch, you eat a lot of junk food and drink a lot of soda. All that food is just bad for you. Instead of Binge-watching, read a book or go for a jog or run outside. Maybe explore a little in your backyard for a couple of hours. Binge-watching can have both Pros and Cons, but I prefer to be a Con in Binge-watching. Think about it before you start your next season of "The Flash" or "How I Met Your Mother" or "Gilmore Girls."
