Ghazzal Hammad- Assignment 5

 I never used to be the kind of person who watched TV often until the pandemic hit. When I was younger, I used to read whenever I had free time. As I got older, I started reading less and using social media more. Whenever we started quarantine, I figured I needed something more entertaining to pass the time, so I started some new shows. I do enjoy watching TV; I find it quite interesting, especially when shows have good character development and intriguing plots. Some shows I really like are Brooklyn 99, Criminal Minds, and NCIS. I love the characters and plots in all 3 shows. As for shows I hate, I can't really say there is one. If I really hated a show, I probably wouldn't have watched more than a few episodes of it. There have been a few that I started watching and almost immediately stopped because I lost interest. My freshman year I tried watching Supergirl (per the recommendation of multiple friends) and stopped halfway through the pilot episode. For me, it was just really boring and did not grab my attention at all. However, to be fair, pilot episodes are normally not the most interesting because they simply establish a base for the rest of the series. 

    The one thing that can be bad about TV is how addicting it is. Whenever I start a new show, I sometimes become so invested that I will binge it. I think everyone is guilty of this, at least a little. Similar to reading a new book series, I get so indulged in shows that I want to know how it ends, or what happens, or which characters die or get married or leave the show; as a result, I end up watching way more episodes than I should.
