Huh.. this is interesting. I guess I really don’t always (rarely, tbh) have the energy to enjoy a new show, so I’ll just rewatch a mix of the same 5-8 shows over and over again because it feels safe and comforting.

I split up with my wife last year and we co-parent an almost-3-year old. Also the hardest year of work in my life. Have never watched so much office in my life. It’s absolutely my safe space.

…But also because sometimes I want to watch something I know isn’t going to suck.

That’s not true, I just really really like Season 2 Episode 1 of Phineas & Ferb “The hunt for the Lake Nose Monster” because of reasons! They’re real reasons too just like my Canadian girlfriend. I definitely don’t watch it because it makes me feel safe/happy.

It’s like comfort food without the calories.

I just do it because half the time I'm too ADD to follow something new.

Well, my self hosted channels of Malcolm in The Middle doesn't help.
