Certain things can be enjoyed best together, like food with wine. TV and movies are no exception. According to a recent research by Netflix, a majority of Netflix members (59 percent) take a pause after finishing a series before committing to a new show. During that break, more than half (61 percent) watch a movie to keep the binge feeling alive, mostly from same genre.
In the meantime, some viewers of intense dramas and horror flicks tend to break the pattern before jumping to their next heart-stopper. Amongst some popular combinations, Indians love to binge-watch the thrilling Bates Motel with the delightfully funny The Hangover and Orange is the new black with The Big Short. You would rather need a short break to digest the odd combinations. According to Netflix, here are some of the comedy and horror binge pairings that resonate among Indians:
