&gt; ‘I can’t commit to another show, and I don’t have the time to emotionally commit to another show.&#x27;<p>I don&#x27;t have this problem at all. There are shows that are too intense of a commitment for me (e.g., there are only so many Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones that you can watch at a time), but I always find myself at a <i>loss</i> for the lower-key shows. I end up watching reruns of shows that I know I like, but there are only so many of those on Netflix, so either I end up watching the same ones over and over, or I turn to my non-Netflix collection.<p>&gt; It&#x27;s as if I finished all the entertaining novels out there have to wait a year for one or two more to trickle out one chapter at a time.<p>This is why I love Netflix originals. Aside from being consistently high-quality and high production value (comparable to HBO&#x2F;Showtime), they&#x27;re perfect for binge-watching. I actually don&#x27;t binge-watch so much, but I do appreciate being able to choose my own pace, which Netflix is perfectly optimized for.
