Film & TV: Are We Binge Watchers, Movie Buffs, or Something Else?

Are we documentary lovers or drama addicts? Do we watch TV to learn, relax, or binge until 2am? We asked thousands of people about their film and TV habits to find out.

Everyone watches TV. But how we watch, that's where it gets interesting. Do we binge without shame? Do we secretly judge people who watch dubbed movies? Should TV be educational or an escape from real life? Everyone has an opinion! So we turned these debates into a quick opinion survey to find out what people really think.

Why we ran this survey

FaStreaming has completely changed the way we watch films and TV. We can pause to make a sandwich, rewatch a scene as many times as we like, and there are children growing up today who have never known the joy of a truly fantastic TV commercial because they've only ever known streaming platforms.

With endless choice has come endless opinions. From binge-watching and subtitles to reboots and content fatigue, people have surprisingly strong opinions about how we watch films and TV.

This survey is about getting to the bottom of those opinions. There are no right or wrong answers, just a chance to see where your viewing habits and opinions fit alongside everyone else's.

What the results say about our Film & TV habits

One thing almost everyone agreed on? There's simply too much to watch. If the streaming era has taught us anything, it's that content fatigue is real.

Meanwhile, the subtitles-vs-dubbing debate was surprisingly close. Turns out that watching your shows, your way, is more important than anything else!

The real story though? There’s no such thing as “normal”. Whether you're a shameless binger or one-episode-a-night purist, the data shows you're never as alone (or as unusual) as you might think.
