HBO or Amazon Prime), then you, like many other people, are probably a series addict. Now, in 300 words you can learn enough vocabulary to discuss all your favourite <strong>shows<\/strong> in English.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, are you going to watch a <strong>mini-series<\/strong> (6 or less episodes), or maybe the latest <strong>season<\/strong> (series of episodes emitted usually within one year) of one of the <strong>smash hits<\/strong> like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad?<\/p>\n<p>The real danger is that if you get <strong>hooked<\/strong> (addicted) to a series, you may find yourself <strong>binge-watching<\/strong> it (obsessively watching many episodes in a row) until 3:00 in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have watched a series, you might look for a <strong>spin-off<\/strong> (another series with a connected story, usually through one of the characters), or a <strong>sequel<\/strong>, or even a <strong>prequel<\/strong>! (stories after or before the original series).<\/p>\n<p>Talking about series with your friends can be dangerous \u2013 they might give away a <strong>spoiler<\/strong> (key plot detail e.g. <em>I am your father<\/em>) before you have seen the <strong>season finale<\/strong> (the important final episode).<\/p>\n<p>The different platforms also give you the chance of watching <strong>reruns<\/strong> (repeated showings) of your favourite series from when you were younger, with series like Cheers or Friends available as <strong>box sets <\/strong>(all episodes available at once).\u00a0 You can see all your favourite <strong>characters <\/strong>(personajes), and probably some classic <strong>cameos<\/strong> (very short appearances by famous actors \u2013 think of Stan Lee in many Marvel movies!). Another great advantage over when we first watched them is not having to watch endless <strong>advert breaks<\/strong> (interruptions for commercials)!<\/p>\n<p>Whatever genre of series <strong>you are into<\/strong> (you like), be it comedy, crime thriller action\/adventure or drama, you\u2019re sure to find something that ends in a <strong>cliff-hanger<\/strong>, leaving you on the edge of your seat!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you currently have subscriptions to multiple platforms (e.g. Netflix, Movistar+.
