Sometimes there's nothing better than being a slob and binge-watching your favourite show in one day. It's always good to challenge yourself, right?

Well, Netflix has finally revealed some binge-watching habits for its US subscribers, including which shows subscribers get through the fastest, and we don't know whether to feel proud or mildly horrified.

(We're leaning more towards proud, don't worry.)

Far from being concerned about our tendency to hibernate with our favourite TV shows, Netflix is celebrating its binge-watchability. If that's a word.

Brian Wright, vice president of original series, said: "Netflix allows you to watch in a way you never could before, and there's nothing better than seeing a show engage our members and ignite a passion for viewing."

That's not what our mums would say, Brian.

UK-specific figures are due to be released on Wednesday (October 18).
