The way people watch television in my generation is very different from how television was consumed just ten years ago. Based on personal experience, I discovered an interesting discovery about the way people around me talk about Netflix; the streaming service that has been providing multimedia content to customers around the world for just under ten years. When someone says they used Netflix, they rarely say “I watched this specific show,” but instead they say “I watched Netflix.” Netflix has become one of the largest video consumption tools in the 21st century. Just ten years ago, the idea of ​​an online streaming service probably would have been unheard of due to not-so-advanced technology and storage. The service didn't offer a streaming library of movies and TV shows as we know it today, but instead 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 creation. At that 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 he explained how the trend of "binge-watching" influences his writing. “We don't have to cover every character in every episode,” he said. Kohan listens to his audience and how Netflix consumers watch a lot of content. He decides to delve deeper into his characters and leave some characters out of some episodes. “The public would see them in an hour” (Kohan). Streaming sites like Netflix are changing the definition of television. Because of this, TV producers are getting more creative and viewers are getting smarter. Many experts have called the last few years the second golden age of television, with numerous programs taking risks and becoming, believe it or not, a new standard for learning. In recent years, Netflix has revolutionized the way writers write television and the way audiences watch and absorb television, which brings me to my next topic: binge-watching.
