Stages Of Binge-Watching With Your Significant Other

"If you watch ahead, just remember: I know where you sleep."

1. Feeling bereft that you've finished your last series.

2. Brimming with excitement when you get a good lead from a co-worker.

3. The nervous fear when you're watching the pilot.

4. The rage you get when your partner starts talking through it.

5. Forcing yourselves to sit and watch the "slow" first season.

6. Embracing this new series as your *thing*.

7. Accidentally reading a spoiler on IMDB, and then having to feign surprise when it drops on the show.

8. Becoming furious when you realise they've done the same thing when they drop a spoiler on you.

9. Realising you're starting to talk about the characters like they're real people.

10. You've both started to flake on plans and family events because you need that sweet, sweet next episode hit.

11. Realising neither of you have attempted to socialise with other people for a really long time now.

12. And when you do see your friends, all you do is preach about how good the show is.

13. Making a "watch ahead without me and I'll cut you" pact with them.

14. Being proper devvo because your partner is going on holiday without you, so you won't be able to watch the show for ONE WHOLE WEEK.

15. Secretly watching one or two episodes without them anyway.

16. Almost give the game away because they're trying to guess the result of a cliffhanger and you can't resist making a "prediction".

17. You get the horrid realisation that you're only two episodes away from the season finale.

18. The show has ended. You're both gutted.

19. You try to rewatch old episodes, but it's not the same.

20. BUT! One fateful day…a co-worker tells you about a news series…

21. And the cycle starts again.
