Season hours: how long every series on BingeFlix takes

How BingeFlix counts a series in hours, what the numbers look like across American drama, K-drama and anime, and how to use them to pick a binge.

Every season, counted in hours

Every series page on BingeFlix adds up its dated episodes and their recorded runtimes, so the length of a season and of the whole series sits beside the synopsis. An episode count alone says little: twelve episodes of anime is about five hours, twelve episodes of a Korean drama is about fourteen, and twelve episodes of an American network show is about nine. Hours say it plainly.

What the numbers look like

At the short end sit the limited series, Monster: The Ed Gein Story at about seven hours and Lanterns at about five. In the middle sit the modern streaming dramas, Reacher at about twenty-six hours across its seasons and Slow Horses at about twenty-five. At the far end sit the network procedurals, NCIS at about three hundred and sixty-six hours and Grey's Anatomy at about three hundred and thirty-four.

Turning hours into evenings

Divide by what you watch in a night. At two episodes an evening, a ten-hour series is a week; at one hour a night, a thirty-hour series is a month. The weekend or month guide sorts the whole catalogue that way, and the weekend binges and month of evenings shelves do the sorting for you.

Series still running

For a series still returning, the hours count everything dated so far and grow as each new episode arrives. The still-returning shelf lists them.
