TV shows, their addictiveness


Exactly, that’s what the topic is, a TV show and its addictiveness. This happens with me almost always: Once I start watching a TV show, I just don’t stop. Let it be 24 hours on a go, I just don’t. That is mainly one reason why I limit myself to watching a new TV show. Now, I don’t want y’all to think that I’m some nerdy guy stuck up on TV shows, but this is what always happens with me. That is one of the main reasons that I haven’t started a new series in about 6 months.

I cut my ties with the world until I finish the last possible episode of the show. I enter a whole new world; a virtual world. One where you imagine things, more like inception; you can be whomever you want, do whatever you want.


TV shows have their own world of creativity. I admire the writers and try to watch the show from their perspective. What I think is, creating a TV show is an art. It sure as hell does require a lot of brains.

So, how does the addiction start?

Lets say that you start watching a TV show. It’s about 10pm and you have some time to go to bed. You decide to watch the first episode. You love it! You’re supposed to wake up at like 7 am the next day, but since you loved the TV show, you decide to give the second episode a shot. That’s when you’re doomed. That’s when the addiction starts. You’re instantly hooked: You love the town the show is set in, you love the main character’s witty banter, and more importantly, you’re not sure how you lived your life before this show was a part of it.

So, if you’re among the ones who are addicted to a tv show or are in the process of it and want to stop at once, here’s a tip:

  2. I want to have a TV in my dorm, and I want to see the TV show via TV, rather than the YouTube
