I think that the main reason for 'binge watching' is because people are reluctant to invest time in a series until they see it is going to continue for a while. People have gotten burned so much by shows being cancelled after one season...especially in the Sci-Fi genre. Some shows have ended abruptly, with no closure at all. So, these days a lot of people wait to see if a show is going to survive before they invest any time in it. Then they binge-watch the first season or two to get caught up.

I was reluctant to get very invested in Grimm at first, for that reason. I like it, but was afraid it was going to get cancelled...so I held it at arms length for a while. Then when I watched the 'Leave it to Beavers' episode, and saw Nick take out those two Reapers...I was hopelessly hooked! I'm so glad the series has survived.
