Watching the box - TV shows, series and streaming services

A lot of us spend quite a large amount of our lives watching televised entertainment. In the past it was watching a TV show or a series one episode per week. Nowadays, there are streaming services where you can binge-watch a series in one sitting and you don’t even have to be at home with your TV – you can watch them on your lap-top or your phone.

Where and what do you like to watch?
How much time do you spend on this during the week?
