Why? I literally have a list on my phone of shows I'm currently watching and shows people recommended to me. When I'm looking for a new show why wouldn't i try one that someone thinks i would like?

To me it’s more like whenever someone describes a show that is completely not up my alley, I’ll pull out this line to not completely dismiss their likes by saying it’s not my thing.
Personally, I just don't watch TV shows and movies and such, so when people smalltalk me up to one of them, there's hardly any other reaction I could have. It would have to sound exceptionally interesting for me to try to find a way to watch it, but if it's not freely available on the internet, chances are I'll just go down the Wikipedia rabbit hole for the information that interests me...
Every tv show is freely available on the internet if you know how to do piracy
exactly, when someone even just mentions a show, and I happen to be on the look for a new one, I usually check it out. but people I know never check out anything anyone recommends. I think its weird.
For me it's more who tells me about the show. If it's my friends that I have similar taste in most stuff then absolutely. They are basically telling me because they know we will enjoy it. If it's a family member? I'll proceed with caution.
But it’s jeopardy bro, why wouldn’t you watch it? And it has this really smart person from the bing bang theory…
Do you have a list on your phone of books you're currently reading and books people recommended to you?
It's more like there are too many damn TV shows to watch and not enough time. I have been meaning to also watch old TV shows like "The Wire".
Anyways, The Wire is a good show, you should definitely watch it!
The thing is that even if it takes years, the wire is like fine wine that’s still aging. I know I personally snoozed during the first episode when I had the wrong impression about what the show with cops and drug dealers would be about. On a rewatch it’s so entertaining and it does take a certain mindset to enjoy. For me it was when I noticed I didn’t necessarily enjoy shows about a certain theme but as GRRM put it “stories about people”.
It really be like that 🙃
I have a policy now of never reading books that people I know insist I should read. Why? Because when I do, they never, ever return the favor. And I don't just recommend books I loved, I recommend ones I think fit their tastes. Whatever, most of them don't actually read anymore anyway.
This is me but books.
Do you know how many books I've discovered on my own I haven't read yet? And I'm going to put yours ahead of those?
