In the sentence "Oui, je me suis maté toute la saison 1 en un weekend," why is the "maté" not "matée"? Female speaker, reflexive verb?
(Also, the pronunciation of "1" in that sentence seems clearly "un" rather than "une".)

Adrian,
the direct object of the ( very ‘familiar’ ) verb ‘ se mater ‘ in this sentence is ‘ toute la saison ‘, and follows the verb/past participle, so no agreement of the past participle.
With regard to ‘ un ‘ versus ‘ une ‘ :
this is abbreviated speech - shortened version of ‘ ( la saison) numéro un ‘ which is standard, although wordreference notes it can used in the feminine as well.
