Start by creating a detailed inventory: list each series, season count, episodes per season and average runtime.
For example: traditional TV drama – about 22 episodes per season, 42 minutes per episode; digital platform shows – roughly 8–10 episodes × 50–60 minutes; short series – 3 seasons × 10 episodes × 45 minutes = 22.5 total hours.
Add totals to a spreadsheet column: episodes, minutes per episode, overall minutes, overall hours.
That single table converts a vague project into a measurable commitment.
Calculate a feasible viewing speed: choose sessions per week and episodes per session, then calculate completion time.
For filmmaker platform, directing, animation instance: three episodes at 45 minutes each, five times weekly equals 675 minutes per week, which is 11.
