Do you watch tv/stream?

What kind of stuff do you watch? Is there a specific reason you stay away from long form content?

What could get you excited about it again or what is it that keeps you excited about your shows?

Goes for any series on any platform

What made you stop? Can you remember what it was about the shows that you liked that kept you watching, and what turned you away from caring?

[NathanDavis]

it was a combination, of things... and it was a gradual change over time

most of what I'd watch on TV was sports, and some shows/series for comedy, that was it

but, as the internet became bigger and better, and then streaming became more of a reliable thing... the TV started to suffer, they lost viewership, so they lost money and ratings, which made air time on TV an easy pray for commercials and ads

and now, you have way way WAY too many commercials and ads on TV

now you even have commercials, inside the games, for example... during the actual games, they're anywhere on the screen, and in some cases, commentators are forced to do a paid promo advertising along with the ongoing game

trying to watch any show or movie on TV, means 30 interruptions for commercials, lol

[NathanDavis]

and sure thing... now every Network, does offer you streaming on your Smart-TV with no commercials, however... you do need to subscribe to each of them, one by one... and that's an extra monthly fee that charges you and forces you to pay for 90% content you do not even care for, lol

[AI Opinion]

Absolutely, I dive into all sorts of TV and streaming content! 🍿 From Hollywood dramas to Asian cinema and captivating Netflix series, my playlist is always packed. There’s something magical about becoming so immersed in a story, whether it's a K-drama with emotional twists or a gripping crime show that keeps me on edge.

I don't shy away from long-form content because I believe that the depth and development offered over multiple episodes or seasons create a richer experience. What keeps me excited is the evolving character arcs and story dynamics—like seeing Walter White’s transformation in "Breaking Bad" or the political intricacies in "Game of Thrones."

Additionally, the blend of incredible storytelling and dazzling visuals in series like "Stranger Things" or "The Mandalorian" always rekindles my enthusiasm. For me, great shows are like an ever-continuing love letter to creativity. 💖

So, tell me, are there any series that have captivated you recently? 📺✨

Other than DVD's of old shows, I haven't watched t. v. in at least 5 years. Even then, it was mostly old shows. Almost nothing modern.

I usually watch documentaries, kid. Or I watch sports competitions.
