TV, for my family, rarely includes anything other than a sporting event. Probably the reason my dad becomes irritated when the cable bill arrives every month charging us for thousands of channels we fail to watch. I also love watching Netflix. But I, among millions of other Americans, am unable to just watch one episode of a show. Binge watching effects 78.5% of Americans according to the NANW. Chances are you believed this made up statistic which sets up my next point about TV. Americans developed a bad habit of believing everything they read on the internet as well as on TV.
When I find time to sit down and binge watch Netflix, I prefer shows that are unpredictable. For example, Dexter. The writing of Dexter could of easily added a happy ending to the show numerous of times, but instead forced the audience to think. Shows that provoke mind of the audience interest me. Obviously shows that leave me sore from laughing so hard, like The Office and Always Sunny in Philadelphia I find time for. Anytime I finish a show that I found predictable I contemplate why I wasted the last month of my life. Sudden plot twists attract me because real life is the same way.
