Setting aside time to watch TV is one of my greatest simple pleasures -- everything from "Gilmore Girls" to "Gossip Girl" to "Grey's Anatomy," "Parks And Rec," "The Office" and much, much more. If I hear of a new series being released on Hulu, Netflix or Amazon, I'm the first one to give it a try.

Now that these streaming services are releasing their own original series, with a full season's-worth of episodes all at the same time, it's become detrimental to my social life. If the show is released on a Thursday night, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll spend the next day or two binge-watching that show. Is this good or bad? Unsure.
