before netflix and internet pirating you'd just turn on the tv and vibe check whatever was on. you'd be thrown into the most intense arc of a show having missed all the context, and it was honestly great.
the point is, there have been a few shows i remember loving as a child that i just could not get into as an adult. it felt like a chore to watch and i realized—it's because i was making it a chore, as if i have to 100% run the series. i had that revelation, picked a random episode, and immediately i was able to enjoy it just like i did as a kid.
