Finding the right box-set is a little like finding the right partner.
You have that initial moment where you realise it’s love. Then it progresses into something like a co-dependence. Finally you part and, for a while anyway, there’s an empty feeling inside.
That’s until the next box-set comes along and you do it all again.
With that in mind, here are seven stages of box-set binging that we’re all a little to used to.
Shock & Denial
I’ll just watch two episodes and that’ll be that… sure it will.
Pain & Guilt
I’ve to get up in the morning, how am I going to do this? But I need to find out what happens next.
Anger and bargaining
One more episode won’t do any harm. I can put the alarm clock back an extra half hour if needs be.
Reflection
Remember how tired you were the last time you watched a full box-set in a day. But this show is so, SO good.
The Upward Turn
I am really, REALLY enjoying this though…
Working through
If I make one coffee and put popcorn on, I’ll be fully awake for the last three episodes.
Acceptance and Hope
I’m addicted to great television and I absolutely love it.
So now you know what to expect before you go back and catch up with Ari and the guys from Entourage.
Entourage hits the big screen nationwide on June 19.
