Morphology
The meaning is directly and predictably derived from combining 'series' (a set of TV episodes) with 'binge' (an intense period of excessive consumption), yielding an extended period of watching many episodes. This noun–noun composition is compositional and mirrors cross-linguistic patterns (e.g., 'maratón de series'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The phrase series binge uses binge, a word for doing too much, like eating, with series to paint the image of someone watching episode after episode without stopping. So, it means 'watching many episodes of a TV show in one long sitting'.
