From Netflix’s original hits like _Orange Is the New Black_ and _Stranger Things_ to new classics like _Breaking Bad_ and _Grey’s Anatomy_, which is about to wrap up its 14th season, Netflix presents endless opportunities to binge watch your favorites and make a deep dent in one’s couch. The hefty amount of content, automatic play-next feature and the pressure to watch things quickly in order to talk about the [newest craze](http://time.com/5105836/david-harbour-wedding/ "undefined") has resulted in binge-watching becoming a fairly commonplace activity, especially among Netflix users. According to new findings from Netflix — cheekily referencing, in honor of Valentine’s Day, subscribers’ “first time” — new members on average take 12 days to start binge-watching a show, and more than 90% binge watch their first show within a year of subscribing. Most viewers finish one season within three days. To compile the data, Netflix defined “binge” as completing at least one season of a show within 7 days of starting and focused on members who joined in the past five years. With that much television, it can be hard to remember where your binge watch journey started. Perhaps it began by trying a few episodes of _The Office_ before it turned into a full-blown obsession, or maybe you just had to finish all of _American Horror Story_ in one night. Netflix will let you take a stroll down binge watch lane if you go to your account page on the website, select “Viewing activity” and then scroll down until you hit the first show you ever watched. The results are fun, though a little daunting, especially if you have had an account for many years — scrolling through every television and movie choice you ever made on Netflix can take some time. _Orange Is the New Black_, _Breaking Bad_ and _The Walking Dead_ make up the top three shows that [Netflix users in the U.S. binge](http://time.com/4987446/netflix-binge-racing-shows/ "undefined") first. The top 10 ranking also includes _Stranger Things_, _House of Cards_, _Sons of Anarchy_, _Fuller House_, _American Horror Story_, _Family Guy_ and _Grey’s Anatomy_.
