I am focusing on TV shows in general in my post. Nothing about Deen or reading Qur'an for 5 hours straight :O.
How I feel :O:

Of course all in moderation. There are better activities you can do to "wind down". My sort of stuff would be to relax near the sea, or drive in nice scenery and so on.... differs from person to person of course :).
I know many people find watching series fun, just don't overdo it :ia:. Also try and avoid series where you know that Islamically isn't right.
Remember the series makers have MADE it addictive, they have cliff hangers for a REASON.
Just wondering.. After all those series have you ever been on a "Binge"? Watching several episodes at once. Many people usually do.
Was reading this on binge watching:

And a particular comment stood out which I will share here:
Interesting insight into our psychology, especially the savana one. One solution is: sell your TV and stop wasting your precious time with watching made-up stories. There is so much in real life that can enrich our lives and our minds, like nature documentaries, or films based on true stories. The film ends, so get on. No such addiction to endless episodes of anything have to take the better of you.
