I was just wondering if it’s me or if it happens to others as well: So many people tell you that you should watch a certain show, and the more you hear about it, the less inclined to watch it you become. The last example for me was Bridgerton. First a large portion of my friend group kept telling me about it, knowing that it’s not something I’d usually be interested in, than Netflix kept on recommending it and even bombarding me with the trailer. I would never say that it’s not a fun show with a sort of interesting concept, but this whole nagging made sure I’ll probably never watch it.
I don’t know why I am like this. I guess I might be missing out on a lot of interesting shows because of it. But sometimes show annoys me before I have even seen the first episode, just by how people rave about it and how certain streamers act like it’s the only thing worth watching they have.
