Methodology

1. Eden’s Gate were keen to discover just how long it would take to binge watch the best TV shows of all time.
2. In order to do so, Eden’s Gate utilised an existing IMDb list ranking the top TV shows based on ratings. 67 TV shows were extracted.
3. To ensure a fair approach and measurement for “bingeing,” Eden’s Gate removed all series that had only one season to date, as well as any children’s and or documentaries.
4. Thereafter, each TV show was input into Tiii.me, an online tool to calculate time spent to watch all seasons.
5. Where data was unavailable using the tool, Eden’s Gate worked out the average length of an episode using information sourced on Wikipedia. This information was then inserted into a formula to calculate the total watch time based on the total number of episodes across all seasons.
