Who here has given up on tv due to poor concentration

Try as I might and can’t manage more than 10 minutes. Think I might have to take a very extended rain check on my beloved movies.

This totally sucks

I gave up on TV due to the definite agendas being pushed 24/7. Just doing internet stuff now.

I hate commercials. I turn the TV off as soon as one comes on. I can watch shows but I lose attention on it easily. Movies for some reason make me paranoid. Which sucks because I used to love movies.

I haven’t given up but I struggle with all the new content out there, I just have no interest, get bored easily and sometimes have trouble focusing on it because of that.

I watch a ton of reruns of my favourite shows, late night comedy talk shows, Sunday morning talk shows.

The only new shows I’ve watched recently are “United States of Al”, “Star Trek: Lower Decks” and “Star Trek: Discovery”. Although I have to admit watching both Star Treks has been a challenge, they’ve done a really bad job with them. I’m looking forward to season three of “The Orville” in 2022 and Season 2 of “Star Trek: Picard” because it is going to have Q in it.

Pretty much everything else I can’t watch. I don’t watch much on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video either, except very very occasionally. I just can’t get into anything new and focus.

I’ve given up on tv due to poor concentration and also lack of interest.

I just have music tv channels on now as background noise.

What’s the massive eye roll for? Losing interest and the ability to concentrate on TV post sz is a real thing. I have it. I have a very difficult time watching a movie or tv show through all the way.

I can watch movies and tv shows but its pretty rare that some catch my attention, most of them I find boring or triggering.

I have decided to put off my tv and movie watching until I am in a nursing home in a vegetative state. Right now I have more fun playing with my cat and playing music.

Oh man, that does suck.

Though I’ve broken movies up into small pieces to watch them before. Why not?

If I watch a show or movie I’ll check out the beginning then a bit of action in middle then the end.

I can watch reruns of movies and shows I like without problems.

Shows like the late night comedy shows and the Sunday morning talk shows I don’t have any problems with, I like those

But with new shows and movies I sometimes struggle.

I don’t watch TV because I can just read Internet. I feel too ugly for TV watching.

I don’t really understand it but that’s how I feel
