The way people watch television in my generation is very different from the way television was consumed just ten years ago. Based on my personal experience, I came across an interesting discovery about how people around me talk about Netflix; the streaming service that has been delivering media to customers around the world for just under a decade. When someone says they used Netflix, they rarely say, "I watched this particular show," but rather, "I watched Netflix." Netflix has become one of the leading video consumption tools of the 21st century. Just ten years ago, the idea of ​​an online streaming service would have likely been unheard of due to technology and storage not being as advanced. The service didn't offer a streaming library of movies and TV shows like we know it today, but rather online. movie rental, where customers ordered a movie online to have it mailed to their home. Just two years later, the company offered a subscription service, which would put it on the path to a future streaming site launching nearly a decade after Netflix's founding. At this time in 2007, Netflix already had a plethora of customers in the United States who clearly embraced the new streaming service. The international company now has multiple Emmys for its original content and more than 50 million customers. At a Paleyfest panel in 2014, she explained how the binge-watching trend influences her writing. “We don’t need to cover every character in every episode,” she said. Kohan listens to his audience and how Netflix consumers watch much of the content. She decides to deepen her characters and leave certain characters out of certain episodes. “The public would see them in an hour” (Kohan). Streaming sites like Netflix are changing the definition of television. Because of this, television producers are becoming more creative and viewers are becoming smarter. Many experts have called the last few years the second golden age of television, with many shows taking risks and becoming, believe it or not, a new standard for learning. Over the past few years, Netflix has revolutionized the way writers write television and how audiences watch and absorb television, which brings me to my next topic: bingeing.
