I've witnessed this, too! I even know family that relaxed their long-form TV watching due to work stress, and generally hit the YouTube algorithim and other quick comfort food in its place.
Yep, I totally feel that. 10+ years ago I was into all sorts - psychological thrillers, crime and mystery, prestige TV drama, etc.
Ever since the pandemic, my taste has flipped dramatically to comfort TV (sitcoms and panel shows) and YouTube content like retro gaming channels, GMM, and Dropout.
I see these huge shows like Succession, White Lotus, etc and while they might’ve interested me in the past I just do not have the energy any more.
I find that tragic :(
I understand though, unfortunately kinda sympathize, and don’t have any advice to counter it…
Those shows aren't going anywhere. They'll be waiting for your viewing pleasure whenever you're ready! I was late to Game of Thrones at like season 5, so still had time to catch up. I hope Succession keeps going and Severance is really fucking good right now...
I've been getting into nature shows lately outta nowhere. There's something soothing about it, but they're also informative. I'm just rolling with it
