	Between the Programming and the Binge-Viewing. How do Poles Watch
	TV Series?

	
	The article focuses on the new phenomenon known as the binge-watching, which is the practice of compulsive watching multiple episodes of a single television show in rapid succession. Binge-viewing is typical for the educated and culturally competent young people whose watching preferences go beyond the traditional tv, and include e.g. online media services. The phenomenon evolved together with the transformation of the communication technology, with the rise of the participatory practices, as well as with the evolution of the tv series themselves. The article explains the origin of the phenomenon, and presents its widespread popularity. More­over, it analyzes the motivations and engagement of the Polish viewers who practice binge-
	-viewing of the new generation TV series.
