Formula
Total Runtime = Seasons x Episodes/Season x Episode Length (min)
The total viewing time is calculated by multiplying seasons by episodes per season by episode duration. If skipping intros, the effective episode length is reduced accordingly. Days to finish is determined by dividing total runtime by your daily watch hours.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Breaking Bad Complete Binge
Problem:Breaking Bad has 5 seasons with an average of 13 episodes per season, each about 47 minutes. How long to binge at 3 hours per day?
Solution:Total episodes = 5 x 13 = 65 episodes\nSkipping 1.5 min intros: effective = 45.5 min/episode\nTotal runtime = 65 x 45.5 = 2,957.5 minutes = 49.3 hours\nAt 3 hours/day: 49.3 / 3 = 16.4 days\nEpisodes per session: 180 / 45.5 = 3.9 = 3 episodes\nSessions needed: 65 / 3 = 22 sessions
Result:Total: 49.3 hours | 17 days at 3h/day | 22 sessions of 3 episodes
Example 2: The Office Complete Series
Problem:The Office has 9 seasons with an average of 24 episodes per season at 22 minutes each. Watching 2 hours daily with no intro skipping.
Solution:Total episodes = 9 x 24 = 216 episodes\nTotal runtime = 216 x 22 = 4,752 minutes = 79.2 hours\nAt 2 hours/day: 79.2 / 2 = 39.6 days\nEpisodes per session: 120 / 22 = 5.4 = 5 episodes\nSessions needed: 216 / 5 = 44 sessions\nStreaming cost: 2 months x $15 = $30
Result:Total: 79.2 hours | 40 days at 2h/day | 44 sessions | $30 streaming cost
