  • The Awkward Truth About My “Favourite” TV Series

    The Awkward Truth About My “Favourite” TV Series

    What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

    The Shows I’ve Watched More Than 5 Times

    (Or… the shocking lack of them)

    .

    Some people have comfort shows.

    .

    You know the kind.

    The ones they’ve watched five times… ten times… sometimes so many times that they can quote entire scenes before the actors even open their mouths.

    .

    Ask them their favourite series and they’ll give you a list longer than a grocery receipt.

    .

    But me?

    .

    My answer is slightly… awkward.

    .

    Because the truth is —

    I’m not really a movies and TV series person.

    .

    Yes, I know.

    A rare species in the age of streaming platforms and “Just one more episode” promises that turn into 2 a.m. regret.

    .

    While people around me are discussing plot twists, character arcs, and season finales, I’m usually somewhere else entirely.

    .

    Most likely:

    .

    • reading a book

    • listening to songs

    • making something with my hands

    • or doing some craft work that looked “quick” on the internet but somehow took three hours.

    .

    If I do watch something occasionally, it’s usually an episode of Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev.

    .

    Not because I’m binge-watching it like a dramatic Netflix thriller.

    More like the way someone revisits a quiet temple.

    .

    No cliffhangers.

    No shocking betrayals.

    No characters suddenly turning evil in season five for “plot development.”

    .

    Just mythology, calm storytelling, and Lord Shiva being effortlessly majestic.

    .

    Honestly, that’s probably the closest thing I have to a “re-watch.”

    .

    Meanwhile, the idea of watching the same movie five times makes my brain ask a very practical question:

    .

    But there are so many books waiting to be read…

    .

    And if I have two free hours, my mind automatically votes for:

    Book ✔️

    Craft project ✔️

    Music ✔️

    .

    Movie…

    …maybe someday.

    .

    Or maybe not.

    But hey — everyone has their own version of entertainment.

    Some people binge-watch entire seasons in one weekend.

    And some of us binge-buy notebooks, start reading three books at once, and suddenly decide it’s the perfect time to reorganize craft supplies.

    Different hobbies.

    Different chaos.

    Same happiness.
