Do you finish all shows you stream?

???
How do you know how much we watch? I mentioned a show that has 40 minute episodes.
Very judgmental of you.

I'm not being judgmental, I just don't have that much free time.

You seem nice.

You seem prone to jump to uniformed conclusions.

Oh, so I was wrong?

Well we’re not all as perfect as you I guess.

And yes you’re extremely judgemental.

I definitely don't always finish a show. I try to give it 2-3 episodes to see if I can get into it, but if I'm not enjoying it...I'm done. Occasionally, I only make it through one, or part of one, episode, and know it's not for me. This week, I started Designated Survivor, and dumped it after four episodes.

Even for shows that I've been enjoying, I often get TV ADD and forget to go back and finish a series, like Schitt's Creek - which I keep meaning to go back to some day.

I stopped after a few episodes like many, started watching again, one of my favorite series ever. Brilliant! Watched it again gladly with my husband.

I actually dropped that at one point, then picked it back up later and ended up loving it again.

To answer the original question - no, I don't always finish shows. I find I get bored of comedies more than dramas, I think because the episodes tend to be more self-contained and I miss the "what happens next week?" factor. But I've also dropped shows for specific reasons (like Outlander got too violent for me, or I hated the evil cop on House).

I figure there are too many shows out there to settle for ones you don't like.

(It's true of books as well, but I'm a work in progress on that one. I still find there is a little guilt factor to not finishing a book that just isn't there with TV. But I'm working on it!)

I agree that there are too many shows out there to keep the ones you don't like or want. It seems like I delete more than I keep, but it's fun checking out the variety online.

How can you all watch so much TV?
The idea of even trying to watch that much is mind boggling.

I’m a retired SAHM, sure I’m still cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, but I can watch tv or read whenever I wish.

I dumped this one about 10 episodes in...thought about going back, but haven't...

Well, I am sorry if I come across as judgmental. I am glad that you aren't.

I thought it was so hokey. The president and his wife were so saccharine.
