Title: Addicted to a particular show?
Post by: SallyChoasAura on August 12, 2018, 07:50:11 PM
So do you guys ever have a thing where you just got into watching a cartoon or some other type of show and suddenly, you're just absolutely addicted to it? Like recently I just started watching South Park (and yes I know that's not something a 15 year old should be watching but I do it anyway, fite me) and all of a sudden- I'm knee deep in fandom trash. This happens to me all the time whenever I get into watch a show or playing a video game, so I am kinda curious if this happens to anyone else...

No hate for SP, under all the fart jokes, they tend to talk about things that, as a society,  we should really talk about, sometimes,  lol. 
  Welcome to the world of binge watching. So many bingeable shows out there. Firefly (rather short), Buffy/Angel, IT Crowd, Futurama, Bones; some good animes like Trigun or Full Metal Alchemist (Brotherhood) to name a few of my faves from over the years. Of course, depends on the person.
Just beware it doesn't consume you :D :D

My friend. It is safe to say. That... I am literally fandom trash.🤪

Anyone else who is trapped in a fandom?

OK, I will admit to being a devoted watcher of "A Place to Call Home" on PBS.

It takes place in Australia in the 1950's when homosexuality was against the law and treated with electroshock therapy. The story lines also talk about hatred and bigotry, since a few characters were brutalized by the Nazi and Japanese in WW II.

Like... "Insatiable" on Netflix right now? Or OITNB before that? Or Dawson's Creek earlier this year? Oh, there was some Nashville in between and a whole season of Madam Secretary.

Thanks for Netflix and the ability to binge watch  ;D

So, yes. It happens. Usually ends in one or two sleepless nights.

I normally have sleepless nights when I drink too much coke or am on the internet for too long. 😆
Which reminds me... goodnight, I'm going to sleep...😴

I love, love, love The Handmaids Tale. I also spend a lot of time watching Suits and saying "Why can't I look like Donna"

My preference was always Rachel... I did go on dedicated clothing hunts to Mimik her outfits. Nothing better than a pencil skirt...

Hugs,

Sarah

I really liked season 1 of the Apple TV series Severance. I'm looking forward to season 2, whenever that happens to come. No release date has been announced yet.

Sons of Anarchy,Mayans MC, Waking the Dead are shows I still watch. I loved the scenes in Sons of Anarchy with Tig, the meanest, toughest member of the club & his trans girlfriend, especially when he realises she loves him despite the many terrible things he's done

Starting the day after Christmas I begin probably my 10th complete rewatch of the seven seasons of the West Wing. Finished two nights ago, and started my fourth complete rewatch of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

I've also done countless complete series rewatches of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Larry Sanders Show, Breaking Bad, M*A*S*H, Community... and a few others.

So, no... I'm not sure to what this topic refers. 😂

I won't say addicted and am a little bemused on this one. I watched it with my ex-to-be or struggled through it mostly keeping her company reading while she watched.

Bridgerton.

Kind of liking it lately. I am on season 2.

Have you seen the Mr. Bates vs. the Post Office on ITV in the UK?
