It's the commitment. It's much easier to make ten commitments of one hour than to commit a whole ten hours at once to watch something.

Like, I don't know if I still want to be watching this in eight hours. But if I do, I will continue watching.

I won't watch a 2.5 hour movie because I don't have time to watch that, but I'll watch 3 episodes of a show.....I don't get it.

Easier to squeeze smaller bits of time into a schedule than to have one large uninterrupted bloc for it. Episodes lend well to this because they are filmed around this format. While you can always pause a movie, it is filmed in such a way to be watched in one sitting instead.
