I called reality TV trash for 8 years, then I binged 14 straight episodes of a show in one night shift stretch
I always said those dating shows were junk and I was too good for them. Then about three weeks ago I was off for four days in a row after a rough stretch of nights in Des Moines, and my sister left her account logged in on my TV. I figured I would watch one episode to kill time before bed and suddenly it was 6 in the morning and I had burned through 14 episodes of Love Island. Something about how dumb and low stakes it all is actually let my brain switch off in a way my usual crime docs never did. Zero thinking required, just people arguing about who talked to who. I finished a whole season in two days and I am not even embarrassed about it. Now I am wondering what else I skipped because I thought I was above it. What is a show you wrote off for years and finally caved on?
