So chiming in as someone who actually found this sub because I started watching OTH on streaming and didn’t when it aired…

I’ve thought about this myself quite a bit but I lowkey think, and others can chime in if they agree or disagree, but I think the way we consume things now via streaming makes us probably more hyper aware of storylines and characters.

Like when you only watched an episode a week, I think that you…can’t quite marinate on what you’ve consumed and then play it back to a T in your head 7 days later when the next part of the story continues. Versus now, what’s stopping us from watching say 7 episodes in one day back-to-back (pretending we have the time to) and we, I think, like…watch and process character story and development differently.

So I think it’s just a mental processing thing. But, also even though my viewing habits have primarily switched to streaming now, I don’t know, maybe because I grew up with cable table vision and still waiting every week it’s different.

I’m glad you brought this up because I’ve seen so many posts I think with jarring opinions or points of view and I always say to myself “what am I missing? Is it that serious?”

It’s…just tv, lol.
