Confession: I\u2019ve never finished watching a TV series.<\/p>\n
Okay, that\u2019s a lie, I have. I finished Elite\u00a0<\/em>(because it was only eight episodes, I had the time, and it was super addicting) and Sex And The City<\/em> because I watched it on TV and thought it was just a season finale, not the actual finale. If I knew that, I wouldn\u2019t have watched it.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s five confessions why I mostly never finish watching TV series.<\/p>\n Examples: Teen Wolf<\/em>, Younger<\/em>, The Carrie Diaries<\/em><\/p>\n When most people think a TV series is so good, they binge watch it and finish it and then rewatch it because they\u2019re sad it\u2019s over. Not me. I stop watching a TV series about halfway through because it\u2019s so good I don\u2019t want it to end. Each episode of Teen Wolf<\/em> was action packed and had great character arcs. As a writer, I admired the writing side, and I learnt a lot. I didn\u2019t want it to end. So, what did I do? I just stopped watching it altogether, and I haven\u2019t watched an episode for two years. Because that was totally logical of me, right?<\/p>\n Examples: Gossip Girl<\/em>, Teen Wolf<\/em><\/p>\n When a show like Gossip Girl<\/em> ended years ago, YEARS ago, it\u2019s common for it to come up in conversation and people no longer care about trying to keep things a secret because if you haven\u2019t seen it yet, it\u2019s on you. It\u2019s your fault. And I agree with that concept. But I\u2019m still upset I found out who Gossip Girl is because there\u2019s no mystery now. Also, I have to read the books first (see point four).<\/p>\n Also, on Teen Wolf<\/em>, I saw spoilers that one of my favourite characters died and that was just so heartbreaking. So, if I never finish watching the TV series, they will be eternally alive in my mind. It\u2019s logical, right?<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Example: One Tree Hill<\/em>, Teen Wolf<\/em>, Younger\u00a0<\/em>+ many, many more<\/p>\n These shows were all GOOD shows. But I\u2019m an obsessive routine person. I only allow myself to watch one episode of a show a day.<\/p>\n As a reader and writer, I feel like I need to spend more time reading and writing than watching TV. After all, novels don\u2019t write themselves. And watching too much TV isn\u2019t a \u2018productive\u2019 use of my time. And, I have so much creative energy I just need to do something. And my mind usually wanders when watching TV.<\/p>\n So, I watched one episode every day and then suddenly one day my routine was disrupted. So, I kind of forgot about it, and then I COMPLETELY forgot about it.<\/p>\n1. It\u2019s so good that I want it to last forever <\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/h2>\n
2. I saw a spoiler that I don\u2019t want to happen<\/strong><\/h2>\n
3.\u00a0<\/strong>I forget to watch it for one day, so now I\u2019m never returning<\/strong><\/h2>\n
