These My Binges

These My Binges

An interesting thing is happening during this pandemic, at least in regards to my tv watching. In the past, I’ve watched tv in a way to Maximize! Efficiency! This probably dates back to my TiVo days when I would have to spend a weekend watching something in its entirety to clear out space for another show.

Inadvertently, I’ve kept up this level of STRATEGERY when watching tv. I make a mental hierarchy of shows:

  • what am I close to finishing,

  • what are people talking about right now,

  • what am I too behind on and should just abandon?

Well, no more! Turns out, during a pandemic I watch tv like I’ve learned how to eat, intuitively. Instead of going straight for the shows I’m close to finishing, or the shows I’m only watching to understand podcasts, I’m asking myself, “Self, what sounds good to you? What show would feed you right now? What would bring you some comfort?” And you know what? It’s a lot of horror movies from the nineties. 🤷🏼‍♀️

So without any further ado…
