LG Electronics USA is offering serious TV watchers unique opportunities to watch the latest season of their favorite Netflix shows in detailed show-themed settings with the LG ‘B&Binge’ contest.

LG is recreating iconic locations from The Crown, Arrested Development and a surprise mystery show, and offering an unforgettable two-night stay within true-to-show atmospheres for selected winners. Each location will be outfitted with critically-acclaimed 2018 LG OLED 4K TVs.

The promo for the contest takes its cue from The Crown. It’s a long shot, following a woman only seen from behind as she walks past dapper doormen, servants and maids, and through elegantly decorated rooms, finally ending at a couch that has a casually dressed man eating grapes and watching the show. She states: “The loo is far” as they both continue their binge watch.

The setting for the Arrested Development binge is aboard a yacht inspired by the Lucille, the Bluth’s infamous yacht. Whereas Gob previously sunk the Lucille as part of one of his “illusions,” this yacht is above water and safely anchored at the Marina in Los Angeles.

For The Crown, fans will relive the royal drama from a palace in Yorkshire, England fit for a Queen or King. A butler will be there to attend to their needs, and there will be royal garb fittings, royal etiquette boot camp, and afternoon tea shall be served promptly at 3 pm.

A third locale is a ‘Mystery Binge’ that LG promises will be a “full sensory experience and is not for the faint of heart.” Located in the depths of New England, winners will leave questioning if only seeing is believing.
