First, we are so fortunate in this day and age to have so much good content coming our ways. And on demand through streaming. Of course it is surrounded by not so good content. At the same time, you find a show, you love it, you either binge it or watch it week over week episodically (which drives me nuts,) and then it goes away for a year or so.
First question, are you methodical about watching these shows? Do you love them enough to make sure you are keeping track? Or do you just watch stuff as it comes up and it’s just “whatever’s in front of me at the time?”
And where do you get your suggestions from? How do you weed out the crap? Do you just watch the trailers and stuff your streaming provider feeds you? Friends suggestions?
And then getting into managing your streaming services. I have so many streaming services and the ones that don’t have any shows running right now I know I shouldn’t be paying for, but I just pay it anyway. And, like a show severance, I don’t know what I am watching until then as the show may not come back until the end of 2026… If even that.
How do you do it? Are you as passionate and hyper focused on the shows you watch? Do you just wait until something comes back? Do you just stumble upon it when it comes back? I would love to hear everybody’s opinion about this. **Respectfully, the only opinion I wouldn’t want to hear is someone that doesn’t give a shit about programs, TV, etc. Think it is a waste of time, etc. I just want to keep this a discussion for those that are heavy binge and TV watchers.**
Personally, I love shows like severance, landman, all of the Bill Lawrence universe shows including ROOSTER, scrubs, HACKS, the new Ted Lasso, etc. But at the same time I love mindless shows like the rookie.
\* disclaimer, my big fat butt was on the couch way too much so in my home Jim I installed a TV where I forced myself to watch at least 30% of my shows on the bike or the treadmill. I didn’t want to sound TOO pathetic. 😉
