This is why I stopped watching TV. I can only watch a show at a set time period and had no idea if it’d be a good episode or a rerun? I might jump into the middle of a storyline with no context for the characters or the plot? I have to wait a whole week to find out what happens next? No thanks. My ADHD won’t allow for that kind of scheduling, plot confusion, and potential disappointment.
I collected movies and TV shows for a while, so I could watch whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Until online streaming became a thing.
Even then, streaming services couldn’t guarantee access to my favorite movies and shows forever, with streaming licenses being a temporary thing that could expire. So I eventually dumped them all and went back to collecting my own movies and TV shows.
I eventually ripped my whole collection to my computer and set up a Plex server, so I could stream my own private movie, tv show, and music collection. I now have access to my media library anywhere in the world! Better than any public streaming service.
Yeah but waiting all week for your favor show only to have it be a rerun suuuuuuccckkkkeeeddd!!!
Or a flashback/clip episode.
Looking at you, Shades of Grey.
Just wait until it’s in syndication and watch the marathon on USA or TBS
