I can't really watch anything that doesn't have a clear arc or start/stop point. Shows are just too long for me. Last thing I liked was Over the Garden Wall which is just a sliced up movie. Love movies though so its not an attention span thing.

People ask me what I do and I cook a lot and draw and read books and kiss my boyfriend. IDK when I would even watch shows lol.

But I tell people this and they can't understand or get really weird interrogating me how I spend my free time. The happy version of this is some of my coworkers found out I really like dancing and now they ask me 'are you going dancing this weekend?' on Thursday or Friday.

Fair enough, don't trust Abraham's, but don't blame all longer shows or especially ones that do long form stories cause they suck at the start.

I did say I wait and see if a big hyped thing is actually going to deliver after the "LOST" thing came and went. Sometimes it does deliver eventually, and then I enjoy it later after knowing that.

Abrams contributed to a trend of hype bubbles of pretension that weren't even rocky starts; they were often promising starts with no actual intention to deliver later.

Must have missed that. I just wait 20 years or so before watching most things.
