Australia is a binge-watching nation. With streaming services like Netflix, Stan and Hayu, it’s a struggle for us to watch just one episode a day, instead opting to fly through an entire season in a matter of hours with a big bowl of popcorn by our side.

Now, Netflix has revealed some surprising info about what shows Aussies are bingeing first. Oh and by the way, their definition of ‘binge’ is completing at least one season of a show within 7 days of starting. (More than 90 per cent of Netflix users who have been a member for at least one year have done this!)

So, what are they?

  1. Orange is the New Black

  2. Stranger Things

  3. Narcos

  4. Vikings

  5. Suits

  6. House of Cards

  7. 13 Reasons Why

  8. Gossip Girl

  9. Jonah from Tonga

  10. The 100

Did your favourite show make it to the list?

According to the streaming giant, it takes a new Netflix user 12 days to start their first binge and most finish a season in just three days.
