    I don’t know how many are like me who almost doesn’t watch tv shows at all. I tried to watch a few but at best it’s quite mediocre to me compared to a good movie, and they are too long for my like. Nowadays I only watch movies, or read books, besides playing games. I don’t know how much I’m considered a weirdo today for not watching tv shows at all.

      Where as I’m the converse, all I watch is tv these days. Will watch 10 movies a year, if that. I long the longer and stronger connection I can form with the characters over a tv season. And I did they can tell more elaborate stories with the longer time compared to a movie. Different strokes for different folks though.

      By myself I never really watch TV shows for the same reasons you mentioned but with my wife we watch an episode of something for dinner. Shows like chernobyl or the wire were really good and I’m glad I watched them but there are a lot of shows that just don’t end and they get old quick

      Yeah I haven’t watched a show in so long. There’s some I know I’d like but don’t care enough to get engaged, it’s the same with a lot of movies. I find the way a lot of characters are portrayed I have no connection with and feel like I’m watching these weird uncanny valley versions of people.
