There are Tv Shows that as much as I love them and are like a therapy session, I never can or watch more than 2 episodes at once. Not because I dont like them, contrary, mostly admire but also overwhelm… shows like
Shameless
The Bear
Baby
Normal People
Hannibal
Spinning Out
These are some exemples… and I get why I can only take two ep at a time back to back, because the depths of emotions and topics they address.
Then theres The Summer I Turned Pretty (IDK if anybody watched it here), which is a mistery to me on why I also cant watch more then 2 ep and never rewatched any ep or season. Not hating or say I love the show, I like it, enjoy it but its a mistery why Its also in the list of shows thats take a lot of energy of me. I dont think it has depth in a emotional level. I would watch Ginny & Georigia and One Day easily, both are more emotional, addresses extremely important but “heavy” issues and still im on ease watching them.
TSITP has a phenomenol marketing, but I think the reason I dont rewatch ot ever watched a season in a day, for exemple, is mostly because theres like noo good moments, its mostly people keeping secrets (everyone) and everyone just fighting or sabotaging each other. Or its just drama all around. Does anyone else feel like the whole show almost always pisses you off? Again, I enjoy the show, watch it, just a mistery why its also a show that take a lot of energy of me, I mean comparing to the regular ones I listed.
