Or in other words; Just how many TV-series can a pop culture junkie possibly keep up with besides his movies, books and whatnot? Those of you familiar with my movie-reviews at Letterboxd knows I've these last years seen about 300 movies a year. Before that the number was quite a bit higher, but I don't have exact numbers.... Besides watching movies I keep up with a large number of TV-series, read books every so often, binge-watch old TV-shows that have been cancelled, and--of course--I tend to revisit some of my personal favorite TV-shows quite often.
Some of the TV-shows I watch are the equivalent to my rom-coms in movies; guilty pleasures in other forms. In TV-terms it's usually procedurals of different kinds. Rarely ever spectacular, but I seem to still hang around for quite a few seasons in most cases. A weekly fix, if you'd like. I've also added a couple of recently ended shows, as they are within the last year of my keeping on top of-shows, and as such still feels somewhat valid.
So, which shows am I currently spending time on? I've divided into five categories.
1. Up to date with
2. I usually bingewatch after each season, so I'm currently less than a season behind
3. I've seen at least one season, but am not quite up to speed anymore (without having ditched it).
4. New shows I'm up to date with (First season or max one complete season aired).
5. Show I've fallen behind with, but I catch up on every so often & shows I slowly work my way through bit by bit.
