Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does this include commercial breaks?
A: No. This tool is built assuming you are streaming the show on platforms like Netflix, Prime, or Disney+ without sitting through traditional cable commercials. If you are watching on standard television, add roughly 8 to 10 minutes to the "Mins/Episode" block!
Q: What could I have done with this time instead?
A: According to studies, it takes about 480 hours to learn a new language to a conversational level. If your favorite show is pushing past the 20-day mark, you quite literally could have mastered full-blown foreign dialogue instead!
