I thought Game of Thrones was something fraternity pledges had to do, where you somehow end up drinking in a bathroom stall if you frick up.

It is 3 episodes long FFS, and was decent.

New one I started last night is The Confession Killer

Very intriguing first episode and cant wait to watch the rest.

Have you never seen any HBO series? My holy trinity is Sopranos, The Wire and True Detective Season 1, in that order. Would highly recommend.

I like the documentaries on Netflix.

I’d much prefer to watch a movie over a series but it seems Hollywood is putting more work into the series concept now because it’s becoming harder and harder to find a good movie on a regular basis that’s not a remake or cartoon/superhero.

I don't spend enough time in front of a tv to even get into their season. I like educational tv like How it's made, Dirty jobs ,etc.

I stopped watching TV news on Nov 4, 2008.

I stopped watching the NFL -- I had already stopped watching other sports -- two years ago.

I no longer watch TV.

You can watch a series and not be 'sucked in.' Whatever tf that means. The Sopranos is prob the best series ever made. Is it possible to just watch something and enjoy it?

I’ll watch a series, but I’ll be damned if I’m watching it with commercials. DVR that shite or wait until it hits Netflix. And frick anything in the “reality” genre.

yikes, I never talk about the TV shows I watch IRL, apart from relaying a joke I found hilarious here and there.

Sounds like you just want to say you dont watch series and want to signal that to everyone for some reason?...congrats on not watching tv tho i guess?
