I don't have this problem at all. There are shows that are too intense of a commitment for me (e.g., there are only so many Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones that you can watch at a time), but I always find myself at a loss for the lower-key shows. I end up watching reruns of shows that I know I like, but there are only so many of those on Netflix, so either I end up watching the same ones over and over, or I turn to my non-Netflix collection.

This is why I love Netflix originals. Aside from being consistently high-quality and high production value (comparable to HBO/Showtime), they're perfect for binge-watching. I actually don't binge-watch so much, but I do appreciate being able to choose my own pace, which Netflix is perfectly optimized for.
