It knows, for instance, which 13 shows you're likely to binge-watch the fastest and which ones you'll binge on the most. By combing through the data, Netflix also determined which shows and genres are most likely to elicit binge-watching behavior.
They delineated the programs along a spectrum called "The Netflix binge scale." At one end are the "Shows to Savor." At the other end are "Shows to Devour." Thrills and horror shows get gobbled up in a matter of days, as viewers sit rapt on the edge or their seat (or tucked safely under a blanket). Irreverent comedies and political dramas are more thought-provoking, prompting viewers to reflect between episodes.
Depending on your tastes, you probably fit one of three profiles outlined by the binge scale.

As a result, it can measure with stunning precision what kinds of shows compel people to keep pressing "Next Episode." Then it can tailor future programming to those tastes, ensuring your binge-watching habits continue.
