This is what people do after a Netflix binge
People can only binge so much before they need to chill, according to new Netflix viewer data released this week.
In a study of more than 86 million viewers' habits across 190 countries, the streaming service found that nearly 60 percent of watchers take a break after binging on a show.
In a post about viewing routines released Wednesday, Netflix said that watchers usually take around three days off before jumping into another series. And during that break more than 60 percent of those viewers opt to watch a movie.

Decisions on what movie (or documentary) to pair with a binge letdown seem to be based on the genre and vibe of the series.
Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, said in the post, "Movies are really an important part of people’s viewing routines and complementary to the way they watch and enjoy TV.”
Some of these TV-movie match-ups?
Breaking Bad, then Pulp Fiction
Gilmore Girls, then Dirty Dancing
Narcos, then Cartel Land
Marvel's Luke Cage, then 13TH
American Horror Story, then Mean Girls
It looks like the silver screen and the small screen are a match after all.
