I always tell people if you recommend a show to be the chance I’ll suddenly go watch it are slim because I’m not paying a subscription I likely don’t have.
I always wonder about the people who have time to keep up with tv shows, movies, and pop culture in general. I have bills to pay, I can’t be trapped in the middle of two dozen different tv shows and cinematic universes.
I come home from work too exhausted to pay attention to a new show. So I put on one of about a half-dozen shows that I have watched repeatedly. My days off are the only time I can watch a new show, and that’s only after I’ve done whatever needs doing and if I am not exhausted after that.
Back in the early days of streaming, I remarked to a friend that it would ruin casual conversations about TV, and how cable sucked, but it at least ensured you were watching the same exact thing as a bunch of other people. He laughed at the time, but I rarely if ever get a chance to talk about TV without spending a third of the conversation trying to determine what we’ve both seen, and another third avoiding spoilers because we aren’t on the same episode.
This is me
I’ve seen none of them
This is why I stopped watching Marvel anything.
I watch Pluto TV now because there’s a limited amount of choices, you can’t pause it, it’s mostly 10 to 15 years old at least.
I stopped watching tv shows years ago. I’m so out of touch. I’ve only heard of a handful of those shows, and haven’t watched any of them.
I haven’t seen a lot of these shows, but the amount that I have seen still seems like a lot.
Im so glad I filled multiple hard dives with as many tv series as I could for 20 years. So much I still haven’t seen. I just finished the Sopranos.
I recommend Dark
That’s me. But instead of the fetal position I just watch 5 year old podcast episodes of comedians I like.

I get analysis paralysis and can’t decide which to watch. I settle on something, burn through it. Repeat.

I just tell people I don’t watch TV
I always wonder how these people have time to do anything if they watch all these shows.

Seen five of them, enjoyed two of them
Me: “I’ve watched the pilot episode of a few of those shows”
Them: “YOU HAVE TO FINISH AT LEAST THE FIRST TWO SEASONS!”
I’ve seen about half of them, all entertaining to me. I’m actually thankful for all the choices of good TV to watch lately that osnt arrowverse crap.
I’m on like my tenth watch of dollhouse though.
Is it Sci Fi?
i have zero FOMO about any of these
As someone who watches very little TV, I feel this deeply.
People tell me about new shows that I need to watch.
I tell them I’ll add it to the list.
There is no list.
What’s the Watcher?
DAE not care about things that are popular?
Well how many streaming services do you expect me to pay for
You can (and should) watch Season One of Westworld and never come back to it.
Crazy part is most of the shows are good recommendations
I watched a 20 minute YouTube video of a guy boarding a plane and going to Disney land. I don’t even like Disney
At one point, over a decade ago, I was following 30+ shows at the same time.
I can’t imagine doing that now, I’m barely watching 3 at the same time.
THERE ARE TOO MANY SHOWS!!!
Is this loss?
Shoresy
I recently finished up The Good Place.
That was actually worth watching I think.
Now, of those mentioned which is the best?
Not going to watch Last of Us until I finish the video games, yeah, I know it’s waaay overdue.
Whoever wrote this has good taste in shows.
The only one I’ve seen is Severance and holy shit is it good. The best show of all time, in my opinion. Can’t wait until season 2.

who the hell has time to watch all these shows? yea, i saw White Lotus and loved it.
I just watched The Boys…
As someone who doesn’t have Netflix and has other hobbies that watching TV all day I feel this
Gotta ask “What are some of your favorite shows?” instead
That’s why we have YouTube summary channels.
Russian Doll.
So much promise, wasted on fucking cheese.
Oh yeah I know Euphoria
Crazy as it sounds, people like to talk about pop culture in social settings.
this is me, but i’ve seen all of them.
Bitch I haven’t even gotten around to game of thrones.
But I am on my fourth rewatch of Stargate shows
