" Netflix is clearly aiming for the singleton market with its decision to release all 13 episodes of House of Cards season two on Valentine&amp;#039;s Day - even us unloved folk have someone special in our lives... it&amp;#039;s Kevin Spacey&amp;#039;s spectacularly wiley and endlessly watchable Frank Underwood.  But don&amp;#039;t feel bad for staying in glued to your laptop or TV set this Valentine&amp;#039;s. The rise of Netflix - with its tricksy &amp;#039;Next episode playing in 15 seconds...&amp;#039; widget - has seen binge watching become the norm, whether it&amp;#039;s online or via traditional box-sets. No doubt some dedicated viewers will have blown through the second season of House of Cards before February 15 even rolls around, so here&amp;#039;s 5 more shows that Digital Spy recommends marathoning once you&amp;#039;re done reeling from Frank&amp;#039;s latest machinations. Kevin Spacey talks new House of Cards: &amp;quot;It is surprising and shocking&amp;quot; Prison Break  OK, so it lost its way a little in later years, but if you&amp;#039;re looking for a big ol&amp;#039; dollop of popcorn entertainment, then you can&amp;#039;t do better than marathoning the first couple of seasons of twisty-turny thriller and Wentworth Miller poutfest Prison Break. In particular, the first season boasts a serialised structure - as piece-by-piece, Michael Scofield assembles a plan to break his brother (Dominic Purcell) out of a high-security prison - that&amp;#039;s just crying out for a binge-watch. Breaking Bad  Emmy-winning performances from its fine cast - including Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn - acclaimed writing from show creator Vince Gilligan and his team and an endless stream of incredible dramatic moments that are - no hyperbole or exaggeration - genuinely jaw-dropping. But of course, the main reason to blast through Breaking Bad is so you can be one of those smug sorts who turns on the uninitiated to snark, &amp;quot;Oh my God, you&amp;#039;ve never seen Breaking Bad?&amp;quot; 24  24 is a show that&amp;#039;s practically designed for marathons - though if you&amp;#039;re one of the few who&amp;#039;s actually attempted, let alone pulled off, the &amp;#039;entire season in a day&amp;#039; challenge, then DS salutes you. Mindless fun, with plenty of twists, action and cliffhangers, it&amp;#039;s far, far too easy to watch endless episodes of 24 without taking a break - and with all eight seasons of the Jack Bauer Power Hour available to stream on Netflix, why not catch-up before Live Another Day debuts in May? The West Wing  The walk-and-talks, Aaron Sorkin&amp;#039;s sparkling dialogue, such brilliant characters - The West Wing is an early example of great box-set television. Far from a dry political series, the wit and warmth of Sorkin&amp;#039;s scripts, plus some phenomenal performances from Martin Sheen, Bradley Whitford, Allison Janney and more, make this a show that&amp;#039;s easy to overindulge in on a rainy weekend. Buffy  Buffy is a perfect show for binge-watching. Firstly, it&amp;#039;s brilliant, compelling television. Secondly, a marathon watch means you can blast through the fun but uneven first season to get to the really good stuff - Buffy&amp;#039;s broken heart, Angel&amp;#039;s evil, Faith, The Mayor and all the other goodness that seasons two and three contain. Plus, by the time you reach the mildly disappointing final season, you&amp;#039;ll be so far down the Hellmouth that you won&amp;#039;t be able to stop. Do you binge-watch?
