Binge watching is only feeding your brain certain chemicals and stimuli. You're right that you need to add more things than just escapism.

Add in some exercise -- dopamine boost! You can walk with a podcast or audiobook on. Many shows or movies you already like may be based on books! Libraries lend both. Sitting at the computer all day is very bad for your body! Weights, yoga, biking..

What else is enriching in your life? learning new skills? Meeting new people? Hobbies where you create things or solve problems? Personally, I'd focus on finding a hobby that really makes me look forward to weekends and work is just the way I pay for it..
