What counts as binge-watching in the research, and what do the studies actually measure?
A 2020 open systematic review (28 articles, 2013-2020) reports no single definition of binge-watching: studies range from 1-3 to 3+ or more episodes in one sitting, and the review table lists mostly online surveys. The review separates an entertainment perspective from a negative-outcome perspective. It does not test cliffhangers, so it cannot support or refute claims about episode endings.
