Sleepless on Netflix: Binge watching is uncontrolled excess, right? Maren Lickhardt shows another side of the phenomenon: as a communal experience and media practice of autonomous users.
If you want to switch off, you have 15 seconds. Netflix has revolutionized (almost) uninterrupted streaming and thus made binge watching a business model. Users decide which films and series they watch – and, above all, for how long. But what exactly is “binge watching”? And how self-determined is that really? In any case, there are plenty of historical forerunners of supposedly uncontrolled media consumption: from the book eaters around 1800 to zapping with the remote control - always accompanied by culturally critical warnings. Maren Lickhardt on the history of autonomous media reception, new freedoms and old dependencies - and the (series) aesthetics of "bingeability".
