Do you actually finish the shows you start?

If it holds my interest yes and if not, no. It’s taken me 10 years to finish Daredevil and I finally finished it.

Yup Finished gen v this week (mixed quality dont regret watching). Almost done with pluribus. Probably finish doom patrol next (im 2 seasons in).

If I like them yes. If not, no. I don’t have unlimited time to watch shit I don’t enjoy

I’m over 800 episodes into the Simpsons and I still haven’t finished

In terms of volume... about 70% of the shows I watch the first few episodes and bounce off uninterested, never to go back. Maybe 20% are keepers but I'm not super invested - so they serve as background noise / multitasking entertainment - and will be picked for vibes - often never catching up with the end of the show. 10% are the gems. I watch them start to finish, no distractions during whatsoever. Then after I finish they go back into rotation for rewatching. It's probably inverted for time spent. I spend the majority of my tv time watching/re-watching gems. And I never skip a season or an episode. It's about the journey.

As a long-time fan of CW's The Flash, I can definitively state that it is sometimes better not to finish the shows that you start. In some cases in fact, it can be a profound mistake that haunts you for the rest of your days, or at least until the next good show comes along.

I'm bad for not quitting shows I probably should. On Serialzd I've tracked close to 700 shows that are either finished and I've watched to completion or currently airing shows that I am up to date on. I've only dropped/stopped watching 14 shows.
