It’s hard to deny that the way we watch television has changed. Watching multiple episodes in one sitting is the new norm, one that allows you to be immersed in new worlds, lives and characters for hours on end. If you’ve been resisting the binge-watching bug, there is more than one reason to give it a try, some even backed by science. In a world where attention spans are shrinking, binge-watching provides us our attention fix without asking for much effort in return. Not to mention, it’s relaxing and enjoyable and exactly what you need at the end of a long day.

If you prefer the old-school way of watching TV, you can still dip your toes into the binge-watching pool by tuning into &PrivéHD. The channel is bringing the binge-watching experience to your TV with Privé Episodes — a showcase of critically acclaimed shows handpicked for a discerning audience. This is the first time a niche movie channel is airing an entire series all day long.

If you are a fan of intrigue, sinister plots and off-beat stories, the shows curated by Privé Episodes will appeal to you. You can start with the suspenseful The Sinner. A psychological thriller featuring a harrowed detective and complex murder cases, The Sinner lends itself readily to binge watching. The series explores what makes seemingly ordinary people commit ghastly crimes. Jessica Biel was nominated for an Emmy for her role as Cora Tanetti, a young mother who commits a freak, impulsive murder. A gripping exploration of trauma and violence, The Sinner was a surprise sleeper hit in the US and also got renewed for a second season.

If drama is more up your alley, The Young Pope will keep you engrossed with its exploration of power and politics in the Vatican. It stars Jude Law as the first American pope in history, who disrupts the traditional order of the Vatican. Pius XIII is self-serving and power hungry, and you’ll question his motivations more than once in this religious drama. You may recognise him from the Jude Law as the young pope memes that took over the Internet a few years ago.

Each series will air for a week on &PrivéHD. You can watch The Sinner every day between 15th and 19th July from 12-8pm, and The Young Pope between 22nd and 26th July from 12-8pm. With the series being repeated throughout the week, you can choose the day you want to binge on a show as per your convenience. And if you happen to miss an episode or more, you can always catch up on any other day of the week. With Privé Episodes, &PrivéHD is making binge watching more convenient and enjoyable than ever.
